                         How to input information in to a computer



                         
                                      Touch  Screen  


 A touch screen is a computer display screen that is also an input device. The screens are sensitive to pressure; a user interacts with the computer by touching pictures or words on the screen. There are three types of touch screen technology. 

 


                                                  Graphic  Tablet



A graphics tablet is an input device used by artists to allows them to draw a picture onto a computer screen without having to use a mouse or keyboard. It consists of a flat, touch-sensitive pad and some sort of drawing device, usually either a pen or stylus. Also referred to as a drawing tablet or drawing pad, the tablet is most suited for artists and those who want the natural feel of a pen-like object to manipulate the cursor on their screen. The smooth flow of this input device can be refreshing for people who find the mouse to be too jerky, and repetitive stress injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome are less likely when using this tool.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Games controller 

 

 

 

 

game controller is a device used with games or entertainment systems to provide input to   a video game, typically to control an object or character in the game. A controller is usually   connected to a game console or computer by means of a wire or cord, although wireless       controllers are also widespread. Input devices that have been classified as game controllers include keyboards, mice, game pads, joysticks, etc. Special purpose devices, such as           steering wheels for driving games and light guns for shooting games, are also controllers. 

 

                                                       Microphone

In addition to the noise issue as answered above, I would add that it's also to protect the capsule of the microphone, which can be very delicate in a lot of large diaphragm condenser mics. In some cases a sharp blow to the mic stand can damage the mic if not shock mounted. This is less of an issue with some mics than others, as some of the cheaper condensers these days have more robust capsules, and its less important on a relatively inexpensive mic like the Samson's than the Neumann's.
