mouse to highlight, select and click – the instructions for what you want to happen go from
the mouse, into the computer.

INPUT devices are used to let you enter DATA into a computer. There are many different

types of input device and each one is suitable for a specific task. For example, if you

wanted to enter a large amount of text, then a KEYBOARD would be the most suitable input

device. Whereas if you wanted to enter your password or account NUMBER at a bank an

input device which is often used is a TOUCH screen.

A MOUSE is the best input device for pointing and selecting things on a computer SCREEN.

However, when using a laptop, the mouse is often replaced with a TOUCHPAD.
