INPUT OUTPUT

I/O (input/output), pronounced "eye-oh," describes any operation, program, or device that transfers data to or from a computer.

Typical I/O devices are printers, hard disks, keyboards, and mouses. In fact, some devices are basically input-only devices (keyboards and mouses); others are primarily output-only devices (printers); and others provide both input and output of data (hard disks, diskettes, writable CD-ROMs).
