On your desktop computer, the keyboard and mouse are input devices, while the monitor and printer are output devices.
A hard drive is an input/output device – it can both input and output.
The desktop computer you are using is a “general-purpose computer” that can run thousands of various programs.
Microcontrollers are specialized computers used for special purposes. It focuses on doing one thing. Microcontrollers
share many common characteristics. If a computer has most of the following characteristics, then you can call it a “microcontroller”:
Microcontrollers are embedded within other devices (usually consumer products) to control the functionality and operation
of the product. Therefore, microcontrollers are also known as “embedded controllers”.
A microcontroller runs a specific program to accomplish a specialized task. This program is stored in ROM (Read Only Memory) and is generally not modified.
Microcontrollers are typically low-energy devices. The power plug of a desktop computer is almost always plugged into a wall socket, with a
power output of approximately 50 watts. The power of a battery powered microcontroller is approximately 0.05 watts.
Microcontrollers have a dedicated input device and typically (but not always) a light-emitting diode or liquid crystal display screen used as an
output. The microcontroller also obtains input signals from the devices it controls and controls the device by sending signals to different parts of the device.
