Input – There has to be a way to get information IN to the computer. It’s the way you talk to a computer. The standard input devices for a PC are the keyboard and mouse Output – There has to be a way for the computer to get information back OUT. It’s the way the computer talks to you. The standard output devices for a PC are the monitor and speaker. Processing - The computer has to be able to do something with the information.
