Ten peripheral devices and their use

 A mouse, is an input device that uses "point and click" technology to interact with a
computer, it is used to move mouse caser.
 Keyboards, is an input device, used to input information to the computer through typing
on the keyboard letters, numbers, and other symbols to give the computer with
information and instruction. Using a keyboard to enter a lot of information is called

 Webcam is an input device video camera that connects to a computer. Webcams are most
often used to enable people to see each other when communicating over the internet, or
for recording video blogs, or other videos.
 Microphones are audio input devices. The microphone feeds a sound signal to the
computer, where it can be recorded, or streamed across the internet.
 Monitor is the most common output device, monitor allow the user to interact with a
computer more easily. The monitor essentially displays a signal sent by the computer in a
visual format.
 Printer, is the output device, it is used to generate hard copies of electronic data stored on
a computer, most often text or images onto paper.
 External hard drive is an input/output storage device that usually connects to a computer
via USB. It is used to hold relatively large amounts of data and plug and play drive
functionality enables them to be easily used with a variety of different computers.
 Projectors are optical output devices; it is used to output information seeing visuals
generated by a single computer. As their name suggests projectors project” still or
moving images onto a screen, blank wall, or other surface
 Speaker is an output device which is used to provide stereo sound.
 USB flash drive, it is called a thumb drive, gig stick, flash stick, pen drive, USB stick,
jump drive, flash-drive, memory stick, or USB memory, it is used to store data that
consists of flash memory with an integrated USB interface.
