Plug and Play standards were developed to simplify the process of adding hardware to PCs. The standard's intention is to conceal unpleasant details, such as IRQ and DMA channels, from people who just want to add a new board, drive, or other chunk of hardware to their system.

Basically Plug and play means that when you plug it in to your computer it just works.

Plug and play is referring to plugging in an external USB device (printer, scanner, etc.) without having to switch off the computer first. Previously, you would have to switch off the computer, plug in a printer (for example) using the serial or parallel cable, then switch the computer back on.

'Plug and Play' relates to the USB ports on computers and some other electronic devices. A USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is a socket in which various external devices (printers, keyboard, mouse, external flash and hard drives) can be plugged in and removed without having to first switch off the computer.
