Output Devices




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

Here are some examples of output devices.

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

Compact Disk - Some compact disks can be used to put information on.  This is called burning information to a CD. 
NOTE:  A CD can also be an input device.

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

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

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

Floppy Disk - A floppy disk is used to record information on.  The information is stored on the floppy disk and can be used later or used on another computer.

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.
