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.
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.
