Output Devices: Computer Studies Notes

These short computer studies notes introduce output devices. They define an output device as hardware that turns processed information into a form people can understand. The notes list the forms output can take: text, graphics, audio, video and tactile. Output is then split into softcopy and hardcopy. Speakers, monitors and projectors are given as softcopy devices, and printers and plotters as hardcopy devices. A brief conclusion reminds learners that every computing task produces some kind of output. The material suits learners being introduced to computer hardware and works well for quick revision.
