Peripheral Devices

Peripheral devices are hardware connected to a computer to put information in, get information out or store it, as opposed to the core parts inside (CPU, memory, motherboard).

Input peripherals include the keyboard, mouse, scanner, webcam and microphone. Output peripherals include the monitor, printer and speakers. Storage peripherals include external hard drives and USB flash drives, and some devices, such as touchscreens, do both input and output. They connect through USB, HDMI, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and need device drivers to work.
