COMPUTER PERIPHERALS

A computer peripheral is an external

device that connects to a computer
to expand its functionality or provide
input/output capabilities. These
devices include keyboards, mouse,
printers, scanners, and external
storage drives. Peripherals enhance
the user experience by enabling
interaction with the computer
system and facilitating tasks such as
data input, output, and storage.
MOUSE
A mouse is a common computer
peripheral used for navigation and
control on a graphical user
interface. It typically consists of a
handheld device that detects
motion relative to a surface.
Modern mice often feature
buttons for additional functions
like scrolling and clicking.
KEYBOARD
A keyboard is a fundamental
computer peripheral used for
inputting text and commands into a
computer system. It typically
consists of keys arranged in a
specific layout, such as QWERTY,
and may include additional function
keys for specialized tasks.
Keyboards can connect to
computers via wired USB
connections or wirelessly through
Bluetooth technology.
SCANNER
A scanner is a computer peripheral
used to digitize physical documents,
images, or objects into electronic
format. It captures an image of the
document or object and converts it
into a digital file that can be stored,
edited, and shared electronically.
Scanners are commonly used in
offices, libraries, and homes for tasks
such as document archiving, photo
scanning, and creating digital copies
of artwork.
