1. Output- Displays the manipulations that have been processed
1.1. Monitor- displays manipulations you have made with various inputs visually.
1.2. Speaker-broadcasts audio from media
1.3. Printer- makes a tangible document you have made on the computer
1.4. Projector- broadcasts the same things as a monitor would, just on a bigger scale using lens.
2. Input- Objects that are able to manipulate the way a computer behaves
2.1. Keyboard- input commands such as, shortcuts, typing, and computations
2.2. Mouse- moves cursor around the screen and manipulates clickable items
2.3. Microphone- make recordings, communicate to computer and other networks.
