Discussion: I/O Devices and Our Senses

Think about the various types of input and output devices in the world that collect, enter, convert, and provide data into processing systems and then display, show, explode, sound, and vibrate in a way that provides information to one or all. For at least two of the categories below,  plus one of your choice, identify an input or output (or both) device that is not necessarily associated or designed to work with a PC.  If it is an input device, how does it collect its data and if it’s an output device, what information does it provide and what is the medium it uses?

I/O Devices:

Time of Day

Temperature

No-Stop Toll Payment Systems

Pedestrian Presence Traffic Systems

Voice-activated Court Reporting

One category not listed above – your choice.
