The USB port is included in all new computers, and is by far the most popular type of port for new hardware. In fact, you can build a computer that has a web cam, keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner, and joystick using only USB ports, eliminating the need for PS/2, Serial, Parallel, and Joystick ports, and could even free internal slots with a USB network adapter and sound card (actually a moot point, since all modern motherboards have these functions built-in). With the advancement in USB (version 3.0), computers won't even need a Firewire or eSATA port, since the throughput is superior to even those specifications and should fuel device technology for quite a few years.

The most common port on new computers today?
The most common port on new computers today is the USB port. USB is highly popular because of high data rates and its plug and play ability.
A port that transmits data eight bits at a time?
A port that handles more than one data bit at a time is a parallel port. The most common example is the printerport (LPT) found on most older computers. The port is designed to transmit and receive 8 bits at a time. Parallel ports are less common on modern computers as the USB port has now replaced it for the majority of applications.
Types of ports in a computer?
Most computers have several ports, which may or may not be enabled. There are two serial, or 'com' ports, which transfer data to and from the Central Processor Unit a single bit at a time, and one parallel, or printer port, which transfers data eight bits at a time. Most modern computers have at least two Universal Serial Bus ports, which are a high speed port for operating modern peripheral devices, such as scanners, printers, external drives, and such.
What port does a joystick plug into in a computer?
Many of the oldest types of joysticks connect via a serial port. The next generation of joysticks used a port called the game port. Most of the newer joysticks available today connect via a USB port.
If you need to use a legacy termional application that communicates through a COM or a serial port what IrDA spec is likely to be involved?
None. The IrDA is only important if you are using an infrared transceiver on the serial port. This is seldom found in most computers.

What is the most common port on computers today?
The most common Serial porty is the DB port also know as D-sub or D-subminiature port. USB is not serial port.

Do most computers have a hdmi output?
Not all computers have a HDMI port. It depends what graphics card the computer has.
I can't find the game port on my Windows XP tower is it not on there?
Most newer computers do not include a "game port." This is a legacy port that was superseded by USB.
Which port enables you to communicate with networkd and and other computers?
The port that enables you to communicate with networks and other computers is the TCP port.

What are USB devices?
Any component (keyboard, mouse, memory storage device...) that uses a Universal Serial Bus, which is a kind of uniform connection port that most modern computers use today.
What is a USB port used for?
The USB port is used on computers to connect peripheral devices to it. The most common are MP3 players, digital cameras, mice, keyboards, external drives, flash drives, and many other devices, those are just to name a few.
Can you use a parallel port for a printer?
Yes. In fact, this is the most common usage for a parallel port.
