Is a CD-ROM an input device?

Answer 1

I would say that a CD-ROM is a form of input, as it is "read only memory" and the data on it can only be read, but not written to. If you're talking about CD-R/CD+R drives, then those would be considered both input and output, as it can read from a CD, and writes to CD.
