välisseadme

Välisseadme is an Estonian term that translates to "peripheral device" in English. It refers to any hardware component that is not part of the core computer system but connects to it to provide input, output, or storage functionality. Peripheral devices expand the capabilities of a computer, allowing users to interact with it and its data in various ways.

Common examples of peripheral devices include keyboards and mice, which are input devices used to send commands and data to the computer. Monitors and printers are output devices that display or produce information generated by the computer. External hard drives and USB flash drives serve as storage peripherals, offering additional space to save and transport files.

Other categories of välisseadme encompass networking devices like modems and routers, audio devices such as speakers and microphones, and input devices like scanners and webcams. The connection between a välisseadme and the main computer unit is typically established through various interfaces, including USB, HDMI, Bluetooth, or older ports like parallel and serial ports. The concept of peripheral devices is fundamental to modern computing, as it allows for a wide range of customization and functionality tailored to specific user needs.
