In a Nutshell:
Input - devices that CAPTURE information. A keyboard captures the fact that a key is pressed, and a mouse captures the movements of the user's hand.
Storage - devices that STORE information. Any form of memory. A place where data is stored. You may not be able to see or read the information if it is only storage - but you can retrieve it from storage and then see it.
Output - devices that RELEASE information. Users view information (that has been input and stored) on an output device.
