which device category would they fall under input or out put and why? Thank you for all your help

Answer 1

i think u had another question earlier today , neway good to see you back, hungry for knowledge, honestly,

Processor, Motherboard, and Memory don't fall under any specific category. The reason why is, they're just the main hardware components of a PC, and they're wellknown by their names more than any category.

Power Supply is something important, but not recognized as for some reason, because the right wattage and amps of a power supply could play a major role in computing, especially if ur a pro overclocker and picky abt ur hardware.

and the only one thing that i recognize as falling under category is "hard drive" who falls under "storage".

nothing u mentioned is a input or output, its all hardware, the things that i would say fall under Output - monitor, printer, speaker and examples of INput - keyboard, mouse, touchpad etc.

hope my answer helped, good luck again.

Answer 2

Processor memory and motherboard fall under (processing), because they are processing all the info , Hard disk falls uder (storage), cause it stores everything permanently, Power supply is more general hardware , because it does not store, process, output or really input information. Which those are the four general things your pc does, input, processing, output and storage, the input would be your mouse , or keyboard, output would be a monitor, speakers, printer etc. Hope this helps ya!

Answer 3

1. Processor - Both receives and transmits Data
2. motherboard - Both receives and transmits Data
3. Memory - Both receives and transmits Data
4. Hard Disk Drive - Both receives and transmits Data
5. Power supply - you could consider it as input I guess don't input data as what would be considered an input device but it does input the power to the system.

It counts as oral, but I definitely wouldn't call it a ********.
