No. A computer is a system made up of three components, a system unit or central processor, an input device such as a keyboard or mouse, and an output device, such as a screen.
A peripheral would be something like a printer or CD-ROM.
Peripheral devices are devices that attach to the computer and are external to the case. Sometimes they are called I/O devices indicating Input/Output devices. These devices input data into the computer and output data from the computer. Some of these I/O devices are very common, and some are used rarely. The common ones are; the keyboard, the monitor, the printer, and the mouse. Other peripherals are; the microphone, speakers, the webcam, the flatbed scanner, USB flash drives, external hard drives, and specialized devices.
The keyboard is an input device that allows you to enter alphanumeric data into the computer. It also allows you to edit, correct, change, or modify existing data. Using the appropriate software the keyboard can be used as a calculator or for special purposes.
The monitor is an output device that displays data in a preprogrammed manner. This allows you to evaluate the data and perform an appropriate action on it. The data can be text, video, pictures, graphics, or anything else you can think of.
The printer is an output device that permits the creating of a hard copy of textual, photographic, or graphic data.
The computer mouse is an input device that allows you to point to items on the monitor in order to perform preprogrammed functions. It can be used with all sorts of data; text, video, pictures, graphics, etc. Sometimes the mouse is called a pointing device.
The computer microphone is an input device that allows you to enter speech as data. Thus allowing you to record this data, or transmit it to others over the internet.
The computer speaker is an output devices that allow you to hear prerecorded sound, or sound coming over the internet.
The webcam is an input device that permits the input of photographic or video data into the computer. The purpose of which is for recording or transmitting over the internet.
The flatbed scanner is an input device allowing high quality photographic, textual, and graphic data to be entered into the computer.
The USB flash drive is an input and an output device. It is used mainly as a storage device to transport data from one computer to another.
The external hard drive is both an input device and an output device. It is used as an output device to copy and archive data. Also, it is used as an input device to retrieve and restore data. More then one external hard drive can be added to the computer.
Hope this answers your question...
A hard drive is neither an input or output device, this particular component is a storage device.
A peripheral hard drive is one that is outside the physical computer and connected to it with a cable.
No. A hard drive is internal hardware. Examples of peripheral devices include mouse, keyboard, joystick, monitor, printer, and scanner.
An external hard drive is a peripheral device. An internal hard drive is a component.
1) A hard drive 2) A memory card reader 3) A floppy drive 4) A CD/DVD/Blu-Ray drive
Hard disk drive.
No a disk drive is neither input or output device, it is an optical disk drive (for CD/DVD's) and a disk drive (for hard drives) would be a storage device.
Sure thing, honey. Here's a little lesson for you: a mouse, a keyboard, a printer, a scanner, and a webcam are all examples of peripheral devices for a computer. Now you know, darling.
RAM is not a peripheral, because it is built within the motherboard. What is a peripheral are items that are not integrated as a part of the computer itself, but items that are connected by means of a cord and are not a permanent part of the computer. Some examples of a peripheral include: A keyboard, mouse, printer, external hard-drive, screen.
