Is a cell phone a input or output device?

Answer 1

a phone is either it can be or it cant bcause you can talk into it and someone can talk out of it .

Answer 2

It's an I/O device Both input and output.

Consider this. A TV set shows you pictures, but you cant send a TV picture using it. That makes the flow of information one way, to you. That makes a TV an output device.

A mobile phone allows you to hear people and talk to them back. The flow of information is two way. You send information to it and it sends information to you. This makes it a bidirectional device (information goes both ways), asynchronous in nature (the data rate is not the same both ways), capable of data in and data out (input/output).

Answer 3

depends on the capabilities of the phone and what you use it for when connected to a computer.

if you use the the phone to type or talk, then yes.

if you put pictures or video on it or just move data around, then no.

input devices are objects that enable you to physically input data.

example....

keyboard, mouse, webcam.
