Did You Know?
The very first computer mouse was invented by Douglas Engelbart in 1964 and it was made entirely out of wood! Today, peripheral devices are essential hardware components that allow us to communicate seamlessly with our digital machines.
How to play Peripheral Devices Match
The game will generate 24 random cards featuring peripheral devices, where every two cards are exactly the same. Like all matching pairs games, you must open all matching cards one after another to win the game. If you open one peripheral card, try to remember its position and open the same peripheral device as your next card to clear the pair from the table. Browser-based educational games for kids like this improve visual memory while teaching core IT terminology!

Class Subject: Peripheral Devices
A peripheral device is used to put information into and get information out of the computer. Three categories of peripheral devices exist based on their relationship with the machine:
- 1). Input Devices: Send data or instructions to the computer. Examples include a mouse, keyboard, graphics tablet, image scanner, barcode reader, game controller, light pen, light gun, microphone, digital camera, webcam, and dance pad.
- 2). Output Devices: Provide output from the computer. Examples include a computer monitor, projector, printer, and computer speakers.
- 3). Input/Output Devices: Perform both input and output functions. Examples include a computer data storage device (like a disk drive, USB flash drive, memory card, and tape drive) and a touchscreen.

Questions and Answers: Peripheral Devices
• What exactly is a peripheral device?
A peripheral device is an internal or external hardware component that connects to a computer to add functionality, such as inputting data (like a keyboard) or outputting information (like a printer).
• Is a flash drive an input or output device?
A flash drive is considered an input/output (I/O) device because you can both read data from it (input) and write data to it (output).
