What would have happened if computers didn't have magnets?
If magnets and electromagnets were never invented, it is likely computers would not exist. The first computers required the magnetic properties of relays and/or vacuum tubes to function. Even modern computers rely on magnetics to spin fans, spin hard drives, CD/DVD drives, produce sound, provide power through the power supply, increase voltage through induction, rectify power flow, and read/write data to hard drives, floppy drives, and other magnetic media.
What are common input and output devices?
Some common input devices are: a mouse, a keyboard, a microphone, a webcam. Common output devices are: monitor (LCD, LED, and CRT are the most common for computers), speakers, headphones, and printers.

What is The memory devices of computers such as hard disks and floppy disk drives use with materials to store data?
mass
How many floppy drives does your system have?
Most modern computers do not have any floppy drives at all. Ones made before 2001 generally had one. Two floppy drives was common only in very old computers with no fixed storage device.
What are things such as floppy disks and flash drives called?
Data storage devices.
Is hard disk install with floppy cable?
Not in a computer that featured a floppy drive as standard. Computers with floppy drives (4 years old or older) used 34-pin connectors for the floppies and 40-pin (PATA or IDE) cables for the hard drives. Modern computers use Serial ATA, and some SATA floppy drives are available, but they are not common.
Are computers still being made with floppy drives?
Some are, not many however.
How many floppy drives does a computer have?
Computers made today generally do not have any floppy drives at all. PCs traditionally had 2 floppy drives (A: and B:) but might have only one of these. The original Mac had 1 floppy drive. Early microcomputers could frequently have as many as 4 floppy drives. (I had one with this capability but I never connected more than 3 floppy drives, these were 8 inch double sided double density drives).
