Three devices out of the four given below fall under the "locator devices" class EXCEPT :

  • A.Touch screen
  • B.Touch pad
  • C.Digitising tablet
  • D.Joystick

Answer: A

The device that does not belong is the touch screen.

In the classification of graphic input devices, a locator device feeds coordinate positions to the computer by moving a pointer or cursor: the touch pad, the digitising (graphics) tablet and the joystick all work this way, steering a position that the program then reads.

A touch screen is treated separately in this grouping, because the user selects an item by touching it directly on the display rather than by steering a locator across the screen. That is why the key singles it out while the other three are counted as locators.
