5 examples of output devices

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

Monitor - A monitor is the screen on which words, numbers, and graphics can be seem.  The monitor is the most common output device.

Printer - A printer prints whatever is on the monitor onto paper.  Printers can print words, numbers, or pictures.
Headphones - Headphones give sound output from the computer.  They are similar to speakers, except they are worn on the ears so only one person can hear the output at a time.
Disk Drives - A disk drive is used to record information from the computer onto a floppy disk or CD.
