During a basic PC orientation, a technician tells a trainee to choose the peripheral that allows users to type commands and text into the computer. Which of the following devices is classified as an input device?
Input devices provide data and control signals to the computer. A keyboard fits this definition because pressing its keys sends alphanumeric data to the system. By contrast, a monitor displays visual output, a speaker produces audio output, and a printer generates printed output, so none of those devices serve as input in this context.
