point-of-sale (POS) terminal, the financial transaction terminal, the executive
workstation, and the microcomputer used as a terminal.
Data is also input using dedicated data entry systems such as key-to-tape and
key-to-disk. These systems do nothing but input and store data. Direct-entry input
devices do not use a keyboard.
Popular direct-entry data input devices today include: (1) card readers for micro-
computer systems, (2) scanning devices and fax machines, (3) bar code readers,
(4) optical mark readers, (5) MICR (magnetic-ink character recognition readers),
(6) smart cards, (7) voice input devices, and (8) light pens, mice, touch screens,
and digitizers (sometimes called pointing devices).
Most data that is input into a computer-usable form is not processed immediately;
instead it is held on storage media until needed for processing. These media
include paper and magnetic tape and disk — magnetic media being the most
widely used today. Punched cards and paper tape were the first paper-based input
media, but they are not used much anymore. Today, specialized input devices are
being used frequently to read data recorded by hand, typed, or typeset on paper
documents.
The conversion of data into a computer-usable form is a vital part of a computer-
based information system. Input control procedures are needed to safeguard the
data's integrity and to ensure the production of complete and accurate information.
