MODEM Stands for MOdulator DEModulator.
It acts both as an input & output (SIGNAL) as it converts incoming analog signals to digital and viceversa.
Incoming - while downloading.
Outgoing - while uploading.
A modem is both an input and and output. Either simultaneously (full duplex) or alternately (half duplex), but either way it can transfer data both ways.
It is of course possible to use a modem in one direction only (simplex) as either an input or an output, without using the other direction. But this choice does not change the fact that it is inherently capable of bidirectional use.
input or something like that yo put certain devices in it
Incorrect! A modem is an output device.
A modem (Modulator-demodulator) is both. It allows you to input data (download) and output data (upload).
A modem can be used for sending (output) and/or receiving (input).
I believe it is both an input and an output device, but I will check
It is both an Input and an Output device.
A modem is one of those devices that is both an input and an output device.
A keyboard is an input device. A modem is both an input and an output device. A CPU is the central processor and is connected to both input and output devices but is itself neither.
both
An input output device that modulates and demodulates is a modem.
communication
Data flows through the modem both ways.
Modem is short for MODulate/DEModulate. It modulates a signal to send across a serial wire, and demodulates the signal that comes back.In other words, a modem is both an input AND an output device.
Yes, it is also and input device. I/O device.
