    Computers Would Be Useless Without Input Devices

    Uploaded by

    Danica Concepcion
    Computers require input devices from humans to function properly. Common input devices like keyboards and mice have advanced in sophistication, while touchscreens and scanners are used widely in commercial settings. New input technologies under development could enable entirely new ways of interacting with machines, like digital pens, body scanners, and potentially even wearable computers. Recent improvements like touchscreen GPS systems have streamlined inputting navigation points compared to scrolling through lists.

    Computers would be useless without input devices.

    Even small-scale
                 computers from calculators to GPS navigation systems require some input
                 from the human being in order to work properly and produce worthwhile
                 output. Some of the everyday input devices like keyboards, mice, joysticks
                 and microphones have reached increasingly more sophisticated levels of
                 technology. Other input devices that are available to the general public
                 but are generally used in commercial settings include touch-screens,
                 keypads for ATMs and bank card purchases, credit card scanners, bar code
                 readers, and more. However, new technology is constantly being developed to
                 create ever more sophisticated and futuristic input devices. Some of these,
                 like the digital signature capture pen and 3D body scanner, may never make
                 it into the common household but are nevertheless fascinating new
                 developments in technology. They enhance the ways in which human beings can
                 interact with machines. Some other new input devices discussed in the
                 Popular Science online magazine include touch screen GPS systems, fancy
                 digital music centers that operate independently from the PC, and the most
                 outlandish: the wearable computer. The wearable computer is mostly a thing
                 of fantasy but baby steps will continually be made to eventually enable the
                 entire human body to potentially interact with a computer.
                 The portable navigation systems currently out on the market are very
                 helpful for drivers, hikers, and campers. They usually require the user to
                 input coordinates in a cumbersome manner, by scrolling down a list and
                 manually inputting navigational points of reference. This tedious process
                 has been recently made more streamlined by the introduction of the touch
                 screen GPS system. However, this is really no different from the technology
                 used for touch screen computers; the difference is in the output of the
