- ..Usage..: It allows users to input text, numbers, and execute commands by pressing keys.

..Example..:

- ..QWERTY Keyboard Layout.. is the standard layout used in most computers.

..b. Mouse..
- ..Function..: The ..mouse.. is a pointing device that moves a cursor on the screen. It typically
has two buttons (..left-click.., ..right-click..) and a ..scroll wheel...

- ..Parts..:

- ..Buttons..: Left button, right button.

- ..Scroll Wheel..: Allows for scrolling up and down.

- ..Usage..: The mouse is used to interact with graphical elements on the screen, such as icons,
menus, and windows.

..Example..:

- Moving the mouse pointer on the screen to click on links or buttons.

- Using ..right-click.. to open context menus.

..c. Scanner..

- ..Function..: A ..scanner.. is used to convert physical documents (images, texts, etc.) into digital
format.

- ..Parts..: A ..scanner.. has a ..glass plate.. on which the document is placed, and a scanning
head that reads the document.

- ..Usage..: It's typically used for scanning images, documents, and photos to convert them into
a format that can be processed by the computer.

..Example..:

- Scanning a document into a PDF or image file (e.g., JPG or PNG).

..2. Output Devices..

Output devices are hardware components that allow the computer to convey processed data to
the user in a readable or usable format.

..a. Monitor..

- ..Function..: The ..monitor.. is the primary output device used to display text, images, videos,
and other graphical elements from the computer.

- ..Types..:
 - ..CRT (Cathode Ray Tube)..: Older technology, bulky, less energy-efficient.

..Steps to Create a Flowchart in PowerPoint (or Word)..

..1. Open a New Slide or Document..

- Open ..Microsoft PowerPoint.. (or Word).
- Create a new presentation (or a blank document).

..2. Insert Shapes..

1. ..Insert Ellipse (Start/End)..:

- Go to the ..Insert.. tab.
- Click ..Shapes.., then select ..Oval.. (Ellipse).
- Draw the shape by clicking and dragging on the slide.
- Resize it to fit your needs, and add text like "Start" or "End".
- To make it perfectly circular, hold the ..Shift.. key while drawing.

2. ..Insert Rectangles (Process Steps)..:

- Go to ..Insert > Shapes.., and choose ..Rectangle...
- Draw a rectangle for the process steps, such as “Process 1”, “Process 2”, etc.
- Add text inside the rectangles.

3. ..Insert Parallelogram (Input/Output)..:

- Go to ..Insert > Shapes.., and select ..Parallelogram...
- Draw the shape for input/output steps, like “Enter Data” or “Display Result”.
- Add text inside the parallelogram.

4. ..Insert Arrows (Flow Direction)..:

- Go to ..Insert > Shapes.., and select an ..Arrow...
- Draw arrows between the shapes to show the flow of the process.
- Adjust the arrow size and direction to connect the steps in the correct sequence.

..5. Connect the Shapes Using Arrows..

- After drawing the shapes (ellipse, rectangles, and parallelograms), connect them using
..arrows.. to show the flow of the process. Simply select the arrow shape, then draw lines
between the shapes to represent the direction of movement.

..To connect the shapes automatically:..

- Select a shape (e.g., rectangle).
 - Click on the ..Shapes.. dropdown menu and choose ..Connector.. (this ensures that arrows
automatically adjust when shapes are moved).
- Draw the connector between two shapes.

..6. Add Text to the Flowchart..

- Click on each shape (ellipse, rectangle, parallelogram) and type in the relevant text:
- ..Ellipse..: Start and End
- ..Rectangle..: Process or Action steps
- ..Parallelogram..: Input or Output operations
- ..Arrows..: Add labels like "Yes", "No", or "Continue" for conditional paths.

..7. Group the Flowchart Components..

To make it easier to move the entire flowchart as one object (without having to move each
shape individually), you can ..group.. all the shapes together.

1. ..Select All Shapes..:

- Click and drag your mouse to select all the shapes, or hold down ..Shift.. and click each shape
individually to select them all.

2. ..Group the Shapes..:

- After selecting all the shapes and arrows, right-click on one of the selected objects.
- Choose ..Group.. > ..Group.. from the context menu, or go to the ..Format.. tab and click
..Group.. in the ..Arrange.. section.

3. ..Resize and Move the Entire Flowchart..:

- Now that the flowchart is grouped, you can resize or move the entire flowchart as a single
object.
- To ungroup the flowchart, right-click and choose ..Ungroup.., or go to ..Format > Group >
Ungroup...
