Resource summary
Input Devices (Made by Karl Taylor)
How images are transmitted
Bars on bar codes are taken in pairs and can stand for numbers which when put together can make a code which stands for something
When you shine a laser at the bar the difference in light reflection between the light and dark is information that the computer uses
Images are stored in a grid of small squares which are given the value 1 or 0
The image can become clearer by increasing the number of squares (pixels)
Increasing the max value of the squares from 1 to 2 allows for more shades
00 = white
01 = light grey
10 = dark grey
11 = black
Colour requires each pixel to have a combination of 3 colours: red, green and blue
Keyboard
Contains a number of characters with each key responding to a number of 1s and 0s that identify the key that has been pressed
Mouse
Can be wired or wireless
Privacy issues with wireless
Difficult to make the information go to only one user
Devices that are connected to the computer by a cable are hard wired
Types of wiring
Simple copper cable
Optic fibre cable (uses light rather than electricity)
Touch Screen
Output Devices
Easy to use because user just needs to point at the screen
Largely vandal proof because it can be exposed to the elements in places such as train stations
Easy source of information specific to the area
Is an output and input device
User inputs then receives the output on the screen
Microphone
Collects sound and inputs it into a system
Can collect noises as well as voices
Used by car alarms
Sets of the alarm when it hears the sound of glass breaking
