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.

Input Devices

Input devices are things we use to put information INTO a computer.

Here are some examples of input devices.

Disk Drive - A disk drive can hold a CD or a floppy disk. It reads the information on the disk so that the computer can use it.
