In general, the term "peripheral" refers to something that is on the outer edge or outside of the central part. In the context of technology, a peripheral is an external device or component that connects to a computer or other electronic device to provide additional functionality or input/output capabilities. Examples of peripherals include keyboards, mice, monitors, printers, scanners, speakers, and external hard drives. These devices are not an essential part of the main computer system or device, but they enhance its functionality and usability.
