Data is placed in a computer system in a two-stage process: Data entry converts human-readable data into
machine-readable form; data input then transfers machine-readable data into the system.
Common input devices include:
a keyboard, mouse, pen, touch screen, or speech-recognition technology
motion-sensing input, scanning devices, optical readers, bar code or radio frequency ID devices
magnetic stripe cards, chip cards, smart cards, contactless payment cards, point-of-sale (POS) devices, automated teller
machines (ATMs)
all of the above
