How does the CPU interact with input devices?
On the most basic level, the keyboard is a collection of momentary switches. Each time you press a key down, you close one of these contacts. When you lift the key, the contact opens again. The electrical contacts are read and interpreted in the keyboard. Circuit logic within then determines which key was pressed or released. Finally, translation logic converts this information into a useable format which is then sent down the keyboard's wire (and/or wireless channel) and into the keyboard's connected bus. While in the old days keyboards had a dedicated low-bandwidth bus for this purpose, most keyboards these day employ the Universal Serial Bus, which defines how keyboards are supposed to operate. Either way, the computer receives the information from the keyboard through the bus which tells it what you just typed.

The definition of life is a little wobbley, some things you may think of as alive are not for example viruses. Computers are sensitive and respond to stimuli, they require nutrition in the form of electrical energy, some can move. But none of them meet the definition of life.
To be "alive" a computer would have to be capable of reproduction, excreation of waste products and growth.
If you had a computer which could build new bits onto itself and was linked to its own energy generating system (petrol generator) you would be getting close.
It's not really a question of how smart the computer is; bacteria are dumb but living. The problem has more to do with if a computer will ever be able to make copies of itself that could be classed as reproduction.
If a computer ever does hit all the criteria for being alive, then the criteria will probably be changed.
