He didn't like that fact so he went and commited suicide. He commited suicide by taking a bite of a poisonos apple. If you think about it the logo for the apple company is a bit out of an apple ! People believe apple was inspired of this man. Do you believe ?

inputs and outputs
one of the monitor devices is an output device because it takes things from the computer. For example - If you connect a computer to a projector the projector the shows what the computer is doing on the board that is an output. Another example - A printer. A printer takes things from the computer so you can have it whenever another output.
Now on to input and what it does and means. Right an input is the complete opisite to a output an input puts stuff on the computer. For example - a web cam takes pictures and then uploads them to your computer thats an input. Another example I think is if you want to upload a photo from your iphone to the computer to keep it safe you just plug in your iphone cable into the computer
