Lesson Content

Output Devices

Output devices are tools that let us see, hear, or get information from computers. They help us use the information a computer processes.

Examples of Output Devices

Output devices are essential for users to interact with computers. These include:

1. Monitor: A monitor is like a TV for your computer. It shows text, pictures, and videos.
2. Printer: A printer makes paper copies of documents and pictures.
3. Speaker: Speakers let you hear sounds from your computer, like music or videos.
4. Projector: A projector shows images and videos on a big screen, ofen used for presentations.
5. Headphones: Headphones allow you to listen to audio privately from a computer or other device.
6. Plotter: A plotter is used to print large-format designs, such as architectural blueprints and engineering drawings.
