Hardware refers to the physical and tangible components of a computer system. 

Peripheral is hardware, an input device, or an output device that gives a computer additional functionality. Peripheral devices, however, are not essential for the computer to perform its basic tasks.

Input Devices are peripheral devices used to enter data. It allows the user to interact with and control it.

The joystick is used for playing games on the computer which has a movable stick that allows the user to control the movements of the character in the game.

The scanner is used to produce a digital copy of a document when placed inside it. 

Camera Web cameras or digital cameras are used to input numerous images to the computer at the same time 

Graphic Tablet lets the user draw directly to the computer by the use of a stylus which is a digital pen that allows the user to write/ draw on the tablet 

(Headset) Microphones consist of earphones and microphones with voice recognition software that allows the user to dictate the data and instructions to another software application on the computer. 

 

Output devices are used to receive data from the computer for display, projection, and physical reproduction.

Speaker produces a louder and good-quality sound when connected to the computer. 

Headphones are devices that either plug into a computer line out or speakers. It allows the user to listen to the audio or sound of music played on the computer without disturbing nearby people.

The projector transfers the display of the computer screen into a flat surface to project it in a much larger view.

A printer is a device that uses ink to produce a hardcopy or printed copy into paper of the processed information in the computer. 

Storage Devices

Optical Storage 

Optical Storage uses lasers and lights as its method of reading and writing data. Blue-ray discs, CD-R, CD-RW, CD, DVDR, and DVD-RW are some of the types of optical storage.

Flash Drive This is a portable storage device, since it is thumb size mostly, it is easier and faster to store and transfer data from the computer. 

          A connection is a term that describes the link between a plug or connector into a port or jack. A peripheral is a hardware input or output device that gives a computer additional functionality. Peripheral devices, however, are not essential for the computer to perform its basic tasks.

1.    The PS/2 Keyboard connector is purple, while the PS/2 Mouse connector is green. These are used in older devices.

2.    The power cord connecter is used to plug in the power port at the back panel of the computer.

3.    USB is one of the most commonly used connectors nowadays for mice, keyboards, and printers.

4.    VGA (Video Graphic Array) connector is used to display graphics on the monitor. The 15-pin male connector is plugged into the VGA female port at the back of the computer.

5.    Audio connector consists of a microphone, speaker, and headphones, which are plugged into the audio port.

6.    HDMI is an audio/video interface for transmitting compressed or uncompressed data from an HDMI-compliant source device.
