5. PERIPHERALS
Task 1. Prepare a PPT Presentation.
Task 2. Speaking about peripheral devices. You can use given text or find
extra information.
A peripheral device provides input/output (I/O) functions for a computer and
serves as an auxiliary computer device without computing-intensive functionality.
Peripheral devices connect with a computer through several I/O interfaces, such
as communications (COM), Universal Serial Bus (USB) and serial ports such as
serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) ones. Peripheral devices include
the following:
Mouse.
Keyboard.
Printer.
Monitor.
Webcam.
Printer.
31
Scanner.
Speakers.
External Drive.
USB Flash Drive.
CD-ROM
There are several types of peripherals, although they’re commonly divided into
three broad categories: input, output, and storage devices.
Input devices convert incoming instructions or actions from the user into viable
information that can be interpreted by the computer. For example, a keyboard will
convert keystroke into characters that appear on the computer’s display, while a
monitor will transform hand movements into movements of a cursor that can be
used to interact with the operating system’s programs.
Other input peripherals
include joysticks, microphones, webcams, optical scanners, etc.
Output peripherals translate digital signals into information that can be
interpreted or utilized by the end user. For example, a monitor or display screen
will show the operating system’s desktop, while a laser
printer will translate
information saved in a word file into printed material.
Other output peripherals include speakers, 3D printers, and projectors. Some
devices can provide both input and output signals,
such as network interfaces,
modems, routers, and webcams.
Storage peripherals are used to store and record data, and include internal and
external hard drives,
CD-ROM and DVD drives, and flash memory drives.
Depending on whether the peripheral is located inside or outside the computer
system case, it can be further classified as an internal or external peripheral device.
An external peripheral can be connected via many different types of cables and
connections.
Today, the most common connection for external
peripherals is the USB
connection, both because most computers have several ports available, and
because of the simplicity of the plug-and-play feature.
Internal storage devices
such as hard disks are usually connected with a SATA cable, while display port
and HDMI are the most popular connections for displays and monitors.
Today, many peripherals are built-in inside smaller computer devices such as
tablets, laptops and smartphones. For example, webcam,
speakers and
microphones are integrated inside most smartphones, although the latter cannot
be considered a peripheral since it’s a core function of any phone.
Similarly,
webcams and monitors a
re integrated into most laptops, although it’s still possible
to connect the computer to a larger monitor or higher resolution webcam.
