It would definitely be both. Output because it sends out information, and input because it then receives information.
Well, it's neither, and both. It's classified as an input/output device. Or I/O.
yes its input but somewhere i had read its both input and output ,but i cannt understand why its output . regards Hashaam zahid hashaamzahid3@gmail.com
INPUT
Devices for communication between computers, such as modems and network cards , typically serve for both input and output. Also, a touch screen can be considered as an input and output. 1.Modems 2.Network Cards. 3.Touch Screen. 4.Headsets. 5.Facsimile (Fax). 6.Audio Cards/Sound Card.
I expect you mean "Is Card reader/writer input or output?". If this is so, it is both an input and output device. Whenever you are trying to categorize a device as Input or Output, think of how it looks from the computer.If the computer is transmitting data to it, it is an Output device.If the computer is receiving data from it, it is an Input device.
Input I would have thought.If you are refering to the big readers of the 80-column punched card then they are Input devices. But many of these devices were made so that they could also be used for output - ie for punching cards - these are both Input and Output devices.A card reader is an INPUT (not imput) device.Whenever you are trying to categorize a device as Input or Output, think of how it looks from the computer.If the computer is transmitting data to it, it is an Output device.If the computer is receiving data from it, it is an Input device.
It is both input or output
Neither, it is a storage device (removable storage).

output
The sound card of a computer provides an output - speaker or headphone) and usually an input too - microphone.The card itself is not an output but is an I/O device(input output device) [a bit of semantics here].
Input devices include mouse & Keyboard. Output devices include Graphic Display & Speakers. Input/Output devices would include a Network Interface Card.
