A peripheral is a device connected to a computer that provides additional functionality. Common examples of peripherals include keyboards, mice, monitors, printers, scanners, speakers, webcams, and external hard drives. Peripherals can be either external or internal, depending on whether they are connected to the computer by wires or installed inside the computer itself.
