How do input and output devices affect your operating system?
Answer:
Ummm by allowing you to see what it is doing and confer it commands.
Duh...
Basically deem of the operating system as one big scheduler. As your are clicking the mouse, typing on the keyboard , printing something or running an application the operating system is the managing force down performing the task you are requesting. As you endow with the operating system more tasks to do a priority gets assigned while the operating system is utilizing the hardware resources available.
ALL your "devices" are input and/or output devices. This includes Keyboard, Mouse, Hard drive, ROM chips, etc.
Without them, you own a pile of connected electronic parts that do NOTHING whatsoever!!!
