Computer Science: Scenarios - Input & Output Devices 1

Imagine you're a tech consultant helping various clients choose the right computer hardware for their specific needs. Let's test your knowledge!

In IGCSE Computer Science (syllabuses 0478/0984), understanding the role and application of various hardware components is crucial. This quiz focuses on input and output (I/O) devices, which are fundamental to how users interact with computer systems and how computers present information.

Input devices are used to send data and control signals to a computer system (e.g., keyboard, mouse, microphone, scanner, sensors). This aligns with syllabus point 1.2.2 and 1.2.3.
Output devices are used to display or present information from a computer system to a user (e.g., monitor, printer, speakers, projector, actuator). This also aligns with syllabus point 1.2.2 and 1.2.3.
Being able to identify the most appropriate I/O device for a given scenario is a key skill (syllabus point 1.2.4).
