Input and output devices in computer-computer world

Input devices : 

Input devices to be useful, a computer system needs to communicate with its external environment(its users).They are also known as peripheral devices.Input device are used to enter data from outside world  into primary storage.An inputs devices is an electronically device that accept  data from outside world and translate them into a form of a computer .

 Following are some of the important input devices which are used in computer :

1. Keyboard  :

 Keyboard devices are the most commonly used input device today they allow data and entry  into a computer system by pressing a set of keys. the most popular keyboard used today is the QWERTY keyboard.

2. Mouse : 

Mouse is the most pointing device it is necessary input device in modern computer because they support GUI(graphical user interface) as their primary user interface. 

3. Trackball : 

Trackball is pointing device similar to a mouse it is a input device as the roller ball placed on the top with buttons. 

4. Joystick : 

Joystick is also a pointing device that work on some principle as trackball. It is a stick having a ball at its both lower and upper ends.A user move the ball by the attached stick with his hand. 

5. Electronic pen : 

It is a pen based point and drown device a user hold the pen in his hand and point with it directly on the screen to select from the displayed menu items or icons.

Another types of electronic pen comes with a spacial pad. The pen is used on the pad as an ink would be used on paper. 

6. Touch screen : 

Touch screen is the most simple and easier way to used of all input device. Touch screen can be attached to computer or to network as terminal.

7. Scan f /Image scanner : 

An image scanner is a input device that translate paper document into an electronic format that can be stored in a computer.   

8. Optical mark reader (OMR) : 

OMR is spacial type of optical scanner used to recognized the type of mark made by pen or pencil. It is used where one out of few alternatives is to be selected. It is used for checking the answer sheet of examination having MCQ.

9. Bar code reader (BCR) : 

Data coded in the form of small lines are known as bar codes. A bar code reader is device used for reading bar code data.


Output device : 

Output device is used to accept data from computer and translate them into a form that is suitable for users. Many output device are available today. They are classified into following categories.

Following are the some important  output devices which are used in computer

1. Monitors : 

Monitor are the most popular output device used today for producing softy copy output on a television like screen.    

2. Printers : 

Printer are the most popular output device used today for producing hard copy output. 

3. Plotters : 

Printer are capable of producing graphics output but many engineering design applications require high quality output on large sheets. Printer are not suitable for meeting this output requirement of such application so a spacial type of output device, called plotter is used for this purpose.    

5. Voice response system : 

A voice response system enable a computer to talk to a user. A voice response system as an audio responsive device that produced audio output. The nature of output is softy copy and temporary.

Single partition allocation, Multiple-partition allocation and Fixed Equal-size partitions in operating system-computer world

  Single partition allocation, Multiple-partition allocation and Fixed Equal-size partitions in operating system Single partition allocation In this scheme operating system is residing in law memory and user process are executing in higher memory. Advantages It is simple  It is easy to understand and use Disadvantages User job is limited to the size of available memory. It leads to poor Utilization of processor and memory. Multiple-partition allocation  It is the simplest method for allocating  memory is divided memory into several fixed size partitions. Fixed Equal-size partitions It divides the main memory Into equal number of fixed sized partitions, operating system occupies some fixed portion and remaining portion of main memory is available for user processes. Advantages It supports multi programming. A process whose size is less then or equal to the partitions size can be loaded into any available partition. Disadvantages If a program is big to fit in...

Aggregation and Functional dependency in DBMS-computer world

  Aggregation and  Functional dependency in  DBMS Aggregation  In aggregation the relation between two entities is treated as a single entity. In aggregation relationship with its corresponding entity is aggregated into higher level entity . It is the process of compiling information on object, there by obstructing a higher level. On limitation of the ER model is that it can not Express relationship among relationships. The aggregation represent a relationship between a whole object and its component in other word we can say that using aggregation we can express relationship main relationships.  For example center entity offer the course entity act as a single entity in the relationship which is in a relationship with another entity visitor. In the real world if a visitor visits a coaching center they will never inquiry about the course or just about the center instead he will ask the inquiry about both. Functional dependency  Functional dependency play an ...

Difference between HTML and DHTML-computer world

     Difference between HTML and DHTML  HTML is a markup language, while DHTML is a collection of Technology.  DHTML creates dynamic web page, whereas HTML create static web page.  DHTML allow including small animations and dynamic menus in web pages but HTML is not able to do so.   HTML used events, methods, properties to insulate dynamism in HTML pages.   HTML is used to describe the web page but DHTML is a collection of JavaScript and style sheet in an HTML page. HTML sites will be show upon client side Technologies, while  DHTML site will be fast enough upon client side Technologies as most of entries are checked on browser itself and not waste time rendering to server for mistake.  HTML creates a plain web page without any style and scripts called as HTML. Whereas,  DHTML creates a page with HTML, CSS,DOM And scripts called as DHTML.  HTML cannot any server side code but XHTML may contain server side code.  ...
