BIOS, in computing, stands for Basic Input/Output System or Basic Integrated Operating System. BIOS refers to the software code run by a computer when first powered on. The primary function of BIOS is to prepare the machine so other software programs stored on various media (such as hard drives, floppies, and CDs) can load, execute, and assume control of the computer. This process is known as booting up.
The primary rule of an input/output system is "garbage in, garbage out".

Visibly, input system includes keyboard, mouse, videocam, webcam, microphone, scanner, etc. that puts what you want to make in; while output system includes monitor, printer, loud speakers, plotter, projector, headphone, etc. that shows what is made out.
