    The document discusses various components used for input and output in computers. It explains that switches must be debounced to eliminate mechanical bouncing from multiple contacts. It describes how an encoded keyboard uses an array of switches read by an encoder to remember multiple key depressions. It also notes that an LED must use a resistor to limit current and that a 7-segment LCD display can use parallel or multiplexed input.
