What Is Output ?
Any information that has been processed and comes from a computer or computer device is considered output. When someone is viewing output, they're seeing it on an output device such as a computer monitor or a hard copy print out. In the picture to the right, is an example of output being sent from the computer to a printer.
Types of output
Text consists of characters (letters, numbers, punctuation marks, or any other symbol requiring one byte of computer storage space) that are used to create words, sentences, and paragraphs. Graphics are digital representations of nontext information such as drawings, charts, photographs, and animation (a series of still images in rapid sequence that gives the illusion of motion). Tactile output such as raised line drawings may be useful for some individuals who are blind. Audio is music, speech, or any other sound. Video consists of images played back at speeds to provide the appearance of full motion.
