Information processsing
In information processing, input is the process of receiving information from an object.
The word input is used as a noun (information received or the process of receiving it) and less often as a verb (to receive information; or to enter information that a program then uses as input).
Computers commonly use keyboards and mice to receive input from users. Other input comes from networks and storage devices such as disk drives.
