📚 Topic Summary
Imagine you're talking to a robot. To tell the robot what to do, you might use your voice or type on a keyboard. Those are like input devices - they send information into the robot. When the robot shows you something on a screen or makes a sound, that's like output devices - they send information out from the robot 🤖.
