Question
Which of the following device is not a media input device to computer?
- A. Microphone
- B. Webcam
- C. Digital Camera (Correct answer)
- D. None of the above
Correct Answer
Option C — Digital Camera
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is Digital Camera.
Key Points
- The official JKSSB answer key marks Option C, Digital Camera, treating it as a device that primarily captures and stores images for later transfer rather than feeding media into the computer live.
- Microphone and Webcam are unambiguous media input devices: both stream audio or video directly into the machine in real time.
- On that reading, the digital camera stands apart because it functions as a standalone capture device with its own storage.
Additional Information
- Be aware that many textbooks classify a digital camera as a media input device, which would make Option D, None of the above, defensible. This item has therefore been contested in past papers.
- The broader category to revise: input devices include the keyboard, mouse, scanner, microphone, webcam, joystick, light pen and barcode reader.
