Input devices
1. Mouse - device used to point to and select items on your computer screen. Although mice come in
many shapes, the typical mouse does look a bit like an actual mouse
2. Keyboard - is used mainly for typing text into your computer. Like the keyboard on a typewriter, it
has keys for letters and numbers, but it also has special keys
3. Webcam - is the loosely used term for any camera that generates images that can be accessed by
and displayed on the world wide web through a server. A webcam is essentially just a camera that is
connected to a computer
4. Scanner - Computer peripheral or a stand-alone device that converts a document, film, graphic, or
photograph to a digital image, manipulable through an appropriate software
5. Microphone - device that converts sound waves into analogous electrical waves
6. Graphic tablet - is a computer input device that enables a user to hand-draw images and graphics,
similar to the way a person draws images with a pencil and paper. These tablets may also be used to
capture data or handwritten signatures.
Output devices
1. Speaker - device connected to a computer's sound card that outputs sounds generated by the
computer
2. Printer - is a computer peripheral device that produces a hard copy (permanent human-readable
text and/or graphics, usually on paper) from data stored in a computer connected to it
a. Inkjet printer
b. Dot Matrix Printer
c. Laser Printer
3. Monitor - A monitor displays information in visual form, using text and graphics. The portion of the
monitor that displays the information is called the screen.
a. LCD –Liquid Crystal Display
b. CRT – Cathode Ray Tube
c. LED – Light Emitting Diode
4. Plotter - The plotter was the first computer output device that could print graphics as well as
accommodate full-size engineering and architectural drawings.
Processing
1. Random Access Memory (RAM) - is a form of computer data storage. A random-access device
allows stored data to be accessed in very nearly the same amount of time for any storage location,
so data can be accessed quickly in any random order.
2. Central Processing Unit (CPU) - is the hardware within a computer system which carries out the
instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetical, logical, and input/output
operations of the system.
Storage Devices
1. Hard disk drive (HDD) - computer's primary means of storage, holding almost all of your programs
and files. The hard disk drive is normally located inside the system unit.
2. Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) - is a computer disk drive that enables a user to save data to removable
diskettes.

3. Optical Disk Drive (ODD) is a disk drive that uses laser light or electromagnetic waves within or near
the visible light spectrum as part of the process of reading or writing data to or from optical discs.
Some drives can only read from discs, but recent drives are commonly both readers and recorders,
also called burners or writers. Compact discs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs are common types of optical
media which can be read and recorded by such drives.
4. Flash drive - is a data storage device that includes flash memory with an integrated Universal Serial
Bus (USB) interface. USB flash drives are typically removable and rewritable, and physically much
smaller than a floppy disk.
