Input and output devices are essential parts of a computer system. Input devices receive input from the user which is processed by the computer. Output devices present the processed data back to the user. Common output devices include monitors to display visual output, printers to print physical copies, speakers and headphones to produce audio output, and storage devices like DVDs and hard disks to archive output for later use. Projectors are also used to project large visual displays for presentations.

• A number of different types of printers exist – including 3D printing
devices.

Speakers and Headphones
• Speakers are attached to computers for the output of sound. The sound output
is produced by a sound card. Speakers range from simple, single- speaker
output devices offering low-quality audio to surround-sound multi- channel
units sending different output to multiple speakers in different locations.
• Headsets are a combination of speakers and microphones and are commonly
used by call centre agents and gamers. They are also growing in popularity as
an increasingly cost-effective method of communicating with friends and
family over the internet using software such as Skype.
Storage devices
• Output may be made to some kind of storage device such as a DVD or
CD- ROM, flash memory (USB flash disk or key), blu-ray drive or
external hard disk drive.
Types of Storage

• Secondary Storage (External)

Projectors
• A projector can be thought of as a variation of monitor in that it translates
the digital output into a visual display projected onto a screen. Think of
some of the lectures and presentations you attended and how common it is
for a computer to be connected to a projector to output the presentation
slides.
