 Modem – (Modulator-Demodulator) The


modem is device that allows a given
computer to share data or otherwise a device
which let computers exchange information.

 Scanner – it is an input device that read text


or illustration printed on paper, translates
the information into a form that a computer
can use.

 Flat Screw Driver – is used to drive or fasten


negative slotted screws.

interface for low-speed peripherals such as
the keyboard, mouse, joystick, scanner,
printer and telephony devices.

 Printer – is a piece of hardware that produces


a paper copy (also known as ‘hardcopy’) of
the information generated by the computer.

 RAM – Random Access Memory, is a primary


memory. This memory is used inside the
computer to hold programs and data while it
is running.

 BIOS – Basic Input/Output System, chip


that controls the most basic functions of the
computer and performs a self-test every time
you turn it on.
 Flash drive – RAM that can retain data
without electrical power. It is widely used for
BIOS chips and for digital camera and digital
music storage.

 Video Camera – camera using videotape: a


camera that records onto videotape.

 Long nose Pliers – is used for holding,


bending and stretching the lead of electronics
component or connecting wire.
