Content

Definition and Explanation:
Output devices are parts of a computer that display or produce the results of processed data. These devices show us what the computer has done with the information we provided.

Types of Output Devices:

  1. Monitor:
    • Definition: A monitor is a screen that displays text, images, and videos.
    • Function: It shows the results of the data processed by the computer, such as a document or video.

    • Function: It plays the audio output from the computer, such as music or voice recordings.
    • Example: When you listen to music on the computer, the sound comes out of the speakers.
  4. Projector:
    • Definition: A projector is a device that projects images and videos onto a large screen or wall.
    • Function: It allows multiple people to view the output from a computer on a bigger screen.
    • Example: In a classroom, the teacher might use a projector to show a video to all the pupils.
  5. Headphones:
    • Definition: Headphones are small speakers that you wear over or inside your ears.
