Input Devices

শিক্ষালয় ওয়েবসাইটের পক্ষ থেকে নিয়মিত কম্পিউটার সম্পর্কিত বিবিধ তথ্য প্রদান করা হয়ে থাকে। আজকে আমরা আলোচনা করবো কম্পিউটারের বিবিধ Input Devices সম্পর্কে। এই Input Devices আমাদের নিত্য-নৈমিত্তিক কম্পিউটারের বিবিধ কার্যাবলী পরিচালনায় আমাদের পরিশ্রমকে লাঘব করে আমাদের সহায়তা প্রদান করে।  

Input Devices:

             Input is the process of entering and translating incoming data into machine readable form so that they can be processed by the Computer.
