From the Paper:

"Many organizations rely on information systems to manage data pertinent to business needs. Because business needs vary in size and scope, the computer systems and hardware will vary. Input and output components provide users the ability to give instructions and data for computer processing and subsequent output and storage. Three basic hardware components of a computer system are: input devices, output devices, and storage devices. The hardware devices and the speed of the computer are pertinent to productivity, efficiency and convenience of the user."
