∙ 13y agoNo. A computer is a system made up of three components, a system unit or central processor, an input device such as a keyboard or mouse, and an output device, such as a screen.
A peripheral would be something like a printer or CD-ROM.

∙ 11y agoPeripheral devices are devices that attach to the computer and are external to the case. Sometimes they are called I/O devices indicating Input/Output devices. These devices input data into the computer and output data from the computer. Some of these I/O devices are very common, and some are used rarely. The common ones are; the keyboard, the monitor, the printer, and the mouse. Other peripherals are; the microphone, speakers, the webcam, the flatbed scanner, USB flash drives, external hard drives, and specialized devices.
The keyboard is an input device that allows you to enter alphanumeric data into the computer. It also allows you to edit, correct, change, or modify existing data. Using the appropriate software the keyboard can be used as a calculator or for special purposes.
The monitor is an output device that displays data in a preprogrammed manner. This allows you to evaluate the data and perform an appropriate action on it. The data can be text, video, pictures, graphics, or anything else you can think of.
The printer is an output device that permits the creating of a hard copy of textual, photographic, or graphic data.
The computer mouse is an input device that allows you to point to items on the monitor in order to perform preprogrammed functions. It can be used with all sorts of data; text, video, pictures, graphics, etc. Sometimes the mouse is called a pointing device.
The computer microphone is an input device that allows you to enter speech as data. Thus allowing you to record this data, or transmit it to others over the internet.
The computer speaker is an output devices that allow you to hear prerecorded sound, or sound coming over the internet.
The webcam is an input device that permits the input of photographic or video data into the computer. The purpose of which is for recording or transmitting over the internet.
The flatbed scanner is an input device allowing high quality photographic, textual, and graphic data to be entered into the computer.
The USB flash drive is an input and an output device. It is used mainly as a storage device to transport data from one computer to another.
The external hard drive is both an input device and an output device. It is used as an output device to copy and archive data. Also, it is used as an input device to retrieve and restore data. More then one external hard drive can be added to the computer.
Hope this answers your question...

GIVE FIVE examples of a peripheral devices of a computer?
A peripheral device is one that is used to put or get information from a computer. Five examples are, mouse, keyboard, monitor, printer and hard drive.
What peripheral device can be both internal and external?
1) A hard drive 2) A memory card reader 3) A floppy drive 4) A CD/DVD/Blu-Ray drive

Hard disk drive.
Is disk drive an example of output device?
No a disk drive is neither input or output device, it is an optical disk drive (for CD/DVD's) and a disk drive (for hard drives) would be a storage device.
Is RAM a peripheral?
RAM is not a peripheral, because it is built within the motherboard. What is a peripheral are items that are not integrated as a part of the computer itself, but items that are connected by means of a cord and are not a permanent part of the computer.

What is one device or peripheral you can add to your home network so that two computers can share the Internet and files?
Hard Drive
Is a microprocessor an example of a peripheral?
A micro processor is commonly thought to be the central processing unit of a computer system. This CPU may contain peripheral devices on the same chip, and connects to peripheral devices located on different chips. Thus, a micro processor is not commonly thought to be a peripheral. However, a micro processor is often used to create a peripheral device. For example, a hard disk drive is a peripheral device to your PC's CPU. However, the electronics within that hard disk drive itself may contain another micro processor. This micro processor acts as the CPU within the realm of the hard disk drive, but towards the total PC system, it implements a peripheral device of the central processing unit.
