A peripheral is a type of Computer Hardware that is added to a host Computer in order to expand its abilities. More specifically the term is used to describe those devices that are optional in nature, as opposed to hardware that is either demanded, or always required in principle. The term also tends to be applied to devices that are hooked up externally, typically through some form of Computer Bus like USB . Typical examples include Joystick s, Printer s and Scanner s. Devices such as Monitor s and Disk Drive s are not considered peripherals when they are not truly optional, and Video Capture Card s are typically not referred to as peripheral because they are internal devices.
