Buttons and Ports on a Computer | Mediateca de EducaMadrid

Every computer has its own set of buttons and ports. In this video, we're going to talk about 00:00:00

some of the most common ones, including what they're for and how to recognize them. 00:00:05

Some buttons are universal, like the power button. Depending on the type of computer you have, 00:00:11

it may be on the front, on the back behind the screen, or even on the inside when you open the 00:00:16

lid. The power socket is where you'll connect the power cord. If you have a laptop, you'll 00:00:24

have a charging port instead. Most computers provide more than one USB port so you can plug 00:00:32

in any device you might need. Keyboards, printers, and USB drives are all common examples. 00:00:40

Some computers even have USB-C ports, which can be used for many different things, 00:00:48

not just plugging in devices. Laptops, for instance, often use the format for the charging port. 00:00:53

If you have a desktop, you'll use the monitor port to connect the monitor. 00:01:01

There are quite a few types of monitor connections, ranging from HDMI to the USB-C 00:01:05

style we just mentioned. If you have a laptop, you can connect a separate monitor as long as 00:01:10

you have the right equipment. Just look for the display port and plug in the appropriate cable. 00:01:16

The Ethernet port lets you connect to the internet if you're not using Wi-Fi. 00:01:23

All you need is an Ethernet cable, which you can then connect to your modem or router. 00:01:28

If your computer has an audio jack, you can use it to plug in wired headphones or speakers. 00:01:34

You may or may not have a disk drive, depending on how old your computer is and who makes 00:01:40

it. 00:01:45

The disk drive can be used to insert a CD, a DVD, or a Blu-ray disc. 00:01:46

If you have ports that look like this, they're for older peripherals like mice, keyboards, 00:01:52

and printers. 00:01:58

Newer versions of these devices usually connect via USB or wirelessly. 00:01:59

That covers the basics of buttons and ports. 00:02:06

Of course, every computer is different, and technology is always changing. 00:02:10

To find out what options you have, take a closer look at your computer. 00:02:14
