title: Where does user input come from in a MVC architecture?
body: <p>I'd like to know where the controller gets the user input from (to feed the model with). Because input media is strongly related to the user shouldn't the view be aware of the concrete way to get the user's data? But how can I separate the controller from the view then? Is it possible to make both completely independent of each other as their purposes suggest?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Example:</strong>
  When I have an application which uses the curses library for the view it implies that the it's only accessible through the terminal. Using curses methods to read user data in the controller would break encapsulation but calling methods on the view would have nothing to do with displaying the model.</p>
