Does Most devices connected to a computer communicate with monitor to carry out task?

Few computer devices communicate directly to the monitor...the only one is the video card. Some video cards are built into the motherboard, called an integrated video card, and some fit into an expansion slot like an AGP slot, a PCI slot, or a PCI-E slot. In fact, computers run JUST FINE without a monitor attached....the monitor is there only so you know what the computer is doing. All other devices inside or attached to the computer communicate directly through the motherboard. The monitor is the human-readable "presentation" of what is going on inside the computer!
