Computer Peripherals

Computer peripherals are hardware devices that are not part of the core computer system but are used with computers to expand their functionality. Peripherals add additional capabilities to computers and increase their usefulness. Some common computer peripherals include:
Monitors: Display screens used to view the computer’s graphical output. Monitors can vary in size from small portable screens to large desktop displays.
Keyboards: Input devices used to type text, numbers, and commands into the computer. Keyboards allow users to interact with software and enter data.
Mice: Pointing devices used to control the position of the cursor or pointer on a monitor. Mice allow users to select options, open files, and navigate graphical user interfaces.
Printers: Output devices that print text and graphics on paper. Different types of printers include inkjet, laser, and 3D printers.
Speakers: Audio output devices that play sound from the computer’s audio system. Speakers are used to listen to music, videos, games, and other multimedia content on PCs.
Webcams: Cameras that capture and transmit video to be viewed on or through the computer. Webcams are commonly used for video chatting, remote meetings, and recording video.
External storage: Devices like USB flash drives, external hard drives, and SD cards that supplement the computer’s primary storage. External storage expands storage capacity and allows transferring files between computers.
Scanners: Input devices that digitize printed documents, photos, and other material. Scanners are used to convert physical copies into digital files that can be edited on computers.
