Mouse: System Unit
A computer mouse is a hand-held pointing device that detects two-dimensional motion relative to a
surface. This motion is typically translated into the motion of a pointer on a display, which allows a
smooth control of the graphical user interface.
SYSTEM UNIT
The system unit, also known as a "tower" or "chassis," is the main part of a desktop computer.
It includes the motherboard, CPU, RAM, and other components. ... The term "system unit" is
often used to differentiate between the computer and peripheral devices, such as the monitor,
keyboard, and mouse.
LINE PRINTER
A line printer prints one entire line of text before advancing to another line. Most early line printers
were impact printers. Line printers are mostly associated with unit record equipment and the early
days of digital computing, but the technology is still in use.
EXPANSION BUS
In computing, the expansion card, expansion board, adapter card or accessory card is a printed
circuit board that can be inserted into an electrical connector, or expansion slot, on a computer
motherboard, backplane or riser card to add functionality to a computer system via the expansion
bus
LASER 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). The toner is transferred to a piece of paper and fixed by a heating process.
KEYBOARD
A motherboard is the main printed circuit board found in general purpose computers and other
expandable systems. It holds, and allows, communication between many of the crucial electronic
components of a system, such as the central processing unit and memory, and provides connectors
for other peripherals.

DIGITIZER TABLET
A digitizer tablet is a peripheral device that allows users to draw on a computer screen. Tablets are
typically used by artists working with graphics software such as Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator.
Tablets allow for much more precise control than a mouse or trackball does by using a stylus like a
pen.
THERMAL PRINTER
Thermal printing is a digital printing process which produces a printed image by selectively heating
coated thermochromic paper, or thermal paper as it is commonly known, when the paper passes
over the thermal print head. The coating turns black in the areas where it is heated, producing an
image.
