Anything that has a USB plug on it can connect to a USB port. USB means Universal Serial Bus. During the 1990's, the number of different plugs were starting to get crazy. There were parallel ports, serial ports, SCSI ports, game/MIDI ports, TWAIN sockets, mouse sockets, keyboard sockets and various other sockets. Then as PCs went to more Plug and Play designs, the industry decided there needed to be a universal type of socket to be used with almost any peripheral type. So now, you can get nearly any device with a USB plug on it. There are USB modems, keyboards, mice, printers, WiFi dongles, VOIP devices, network controllers, sound controllers, phone chargers, lights, industrial light controllers, cameras, and many more devices.
