  1. 1. tubes : A vacuum tube computer, now termed a first-generation computer, is a computer that uses vacuum tubes for logic circuitry.
  2. 5. Serial Bus (USB) : is an industry standard that establishes specifications for cables and connectors and protocols for connection, communication and power supply between computers, peripherals and other computers.
  3. 8. Disc (CD) : are small plastic discs which store and retrieve computer data or music using light.
  4. 9. printer: is a type of computer printing that recreates a digital image by propelling droplets of ink onto paper and plastic substrates.
  5. 11. printer : a printer linked to a computer producing good-quality printed material by using a laser to form a pattern of electrostatically charged dots on a light-sensitive drum, which attract toner (or dry ink powder).
  6. 12. Peripherals : An output device is any device used to send data from a computer to another device or user.
  7. 14. : a machine for printing text or pictures onto paper, especially one linked to a computer.
  8. 17. Printer :a machine allowing the creation of a physical object from a three-dimensional digital model, typically by laying down many thin layers of a material in succession.
  9. 20. :A touchpad or trackpad is a pointing device featuring a tactile sensor, a specialized surface that can translate the motion and position of a user's fingers to a relative position on the operating system that is made output to the screen.
  10. 21. :a movable indicator on a computer screen identifying the point that will be affected by input from the user, for example showing where typed text will be inserted.
