Computer peripherals

[Preface] Any computer system is composed of hardware system and software system. In the hardware system, in addition to the host, corresponding peripheral equipment must be equipped for the computer system to work properly. Peripheral equipment is the interface between human and computer system. Computer operators use computers through various peripheral equipment. Peripheral equipment is a tool and bridge for humans to use computers. Therefore, peripheral equipment knowledge is an important part of computer science and technology knowledge. Students studying computer science, technology and applications must have certain peripheral equipment knowledge. The 21st century will be the century of informationization. After entering the 21st century, countries around the world are accelerating the construction of informatization.Informatization construction has promoted the development of computer science and technology. With the rapid development of computer technology and the continuous expansion of computer application fields, the variety, type and number of peripheral devices have continued to increase. The proportion of equipment in the cost of computer hardware systems is also rising. In a microcomputer system, the hardware occupied by peripheral devices
