It is considered an output, because you can view results on the display. It is an input, because when you touch the screen, you are executing commands or inputting data into the computer, much like you would've typed on a keyboard or clicked on a mouse.
Input refers to the instructions given to the piece of hardware in question to do, output is the product of your input. If you compare it to a keyboard and you press 'Escape' to exit a program, the output could be; on the screen, the program closes completely and you can no longer see it.
It's no different to a touch screen, say there was a great big button saying "Escape", pressing it is your input to perform exactly the same output.
A touch screen is both an output device (what you see on the screen) and an input device (when you touch the screen).
Moving a finger on a touch screen and tapping on the screen sends information into the computer or tablet. A program in the computer receives these input codes and decides what to do. It can ignore it. It can move a cursor around. It can move a character around on the screen. It can make a character on the screen jump. It can make a weapon on the screen shoot or change weapons. All based on the receiving information through the touch screen input interface.
It is a screen, so it is an output device, but the touch part replaces the mouse, witch is an input device. so you could say that the touch part is input and the screen part is output.
IT generaly acts as a mouse and keyboard,so it enters data and displays the feet back at the same time.
Because the device is using a monitor.
It is both. The output device shows you images on the screen, while the input device allows you to interact with objects on the screen (e.g., touch the screen to select an option).
Accessing an I/O (Input/Output) device refers to using a device that is connected to your computer, such as a monitor for output. The monitor is outputting images. Accessing an input device refers to using something like a mouse, webcam, keyboard, touchscreen etc. to input data on the computer.
The monitor is an output device......
A speaker would be considered a communication device.
Speakers are considered to be an OUTPUT device, as the signal is traveling out of your device, and into the speaker.
A Touchscreen Monitor will work as an input and output device
A normal computer monitor is simply an output device; it takes no input from the user. A touchscreen monitor, on the other hand, is both an input and an output device.
In relation to computers, there are many devices that can be considered input/output devices: Input: Mouse Keyboard Graphics Tablet Microphone Scanner Output: Monitor Speaker Printer Also, a touchscreen monitor can be considered both an input and output device.
A good example of an input and output device is a touchscreen monitor.
Touchscreen is an input device for the computer.
A monitor is an input device only if it is a touchscreen.
Normally it is an output device. However a touchscreen monitor is both an input and output device.
A monitor is an output device. A touchscreen monitor is different. The touch panel, which is installed over the monitor is an input device, but the monitor itself is strictly an output device.
It is both. The output device shows you images on the screen, while the input device allows you to interact with objects on the screen (e.g., touch the screen to select an option).
Its more of an bidirectional device......it shows u the output graphic data as well as helps u select ur option.........
Printer & Monitor are not input device, these are output devices.
A palmtop can be considered to be a host. It can be both input or output.
