Assume you have used a time machine to move forward 50 years. You exit the time machine in front of a Wal-Mart. You enter the store and notice that the employees and customers are using many different input devices to work and/or shop. Find ten input devices described in chapter four that you might find in a future Wal-Mart. For each device list the name of the device, a short description of how the device enables a user to input data into a computer, and how the device may be used in a future Wal-Mart.

The input devices you choose must be described in the textbook (you cannot make up your own devices). However, you can be creative in describing how the device may be used in a future Wal-Mart. Think science fiction. To provide an example, the first device has been provided for you below. Please use the hyphen or underline key on your keyboard to put a line between each of the ten devices you list (as shown below).

Type of input device: keyboard

Device description: enables user to enter characters or commands into a computer by pressing the appropriate button on the keyboard.

How used in future: used by customers to enter their name, address, and phone number on an input screen in the do-it-yourself photo studio
