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.

Printer - A printer
prints whatever is on
the monitor onto
paper.  Printers can
print words, numbers,
or pictures.

Speaker - A speaker
gives you sound output
from your computer. 
Some speakers are
built into the computer

separate.
Disk Drives - A disk
drive is used to record
information from the
