 * __Data Input Devices - Image Capture Device__**

__Description:__
This refers to a piece of hardware that will input data into the computer system by taking many photos or capturing video. This will then enable the computer to manipulate the data as and when it is necessary to do so. There are many different types of hardware that actually have the functionality to do such a task; the most basic and common example is an everyday image scanner [1]. In more specific terms, the main function of an image capture device is to digitise images or videos from the human world into data than the computer can understand and then manipulate, depending on what the user actually requires. Here are some examples:
