Hello
With now just six lessons to go, everyone seems to be working really hard! I finally managed to load the computer system ports picture on to the wiki. I am finding more and more information. As I try to find more information it gets harder to find the correct amount of information and the right one to. To this date a computer would have roughly around 18 ports in the system. This would include the microphone, speaker and line in ports in the front and back. Roughly aorund 4 USB ports. Which appear to be both in the front and back of the computer. The Ethernet port, Two PS/2 ports which are for the keyboard and mouse. The serial port is used for a dial-up modem, the LPT1 Printer Port, VGA port which is used by monitor and the game port which would be used by the Joystick. These are roughly what kinds of ports the computer system has. Most Gadgets in my opinion use the USB ports rather than the rest. The reason I tell this is because most gadgets (Digital Camera, Flash, MP3, Scanner,Webcam and certain monitors) use the USB ports. The only gadget that would use the microphone, speaker and line in ports are the headsets. As technology develops the large devices such as printers will start using ports the size of an microphone port.
But that is my opinion. I don't know how it would be but in my opinion ports are more likely to get smaller and more useful!!!
Thats it for now
