input device
     
         a peripheral used to transfer data from the
        outside world into a computer system.  some input devices are
        operated directly by the user, e.g. keyboard, mouse,
        touch screen, joystick, digitising tablet, microphone;
        others are sensors or transducers which convert external
        signals into data, e.g. using an ananlog to digital
        converter this would also be true of a microphone.  other
        kinds of inputs are really one half of a bidirectional link
        with another computer or storage device, e.g. serial line,
        scsi interface.
