Output Devices

Output devices are things we use to get information OUT of a computer.

Here are some examples of output devices.

1.)Monitor

                A monitor is the screen on which words, numbers, and graphics can be seem.  The monitor is the most common output device.


2.)Printer 

                           A printer prints whatever is on the monitor onto paper.  Printers can print words, numbers, or pictures.


3.)Speaker 

                             A speaker gives you sound output from your computer.  Some speakers are built into the computer and some are separate.


4.)Headphones

                      Headphones give sound output from the computer.  They are similar to speakers, except they are worn on the ears so only one person can hear the output at a time.


5.)Disk Drives 

                   A disk drive is used to record information from the computer onto a floppy disk or CD.
