CD –ROM
A CD-ROM is a pre-pressed compact disc that contains data accessible to, but not writable by, a
computer for data storage and music playback. CD-ROMs are popularly used to distribute computer
software, including games and multimedia applications, though any data can be stored (up to the
capacity limit of a disc). Some CDs hold both computer data and audio with the latter capable of
being played on a CD player, while data (such as software or digital video) is only usable on a
computer (such as ISO 9660 format PC CD-ROMs). These are called enhanced CDs

 Router

A router is a device that forwards data packets across computer networks. Routers perform
the data "traffic directing" functions on the internet. A router is a microprocessor-controlled device
that is connected to two or more data lines from different networks. When a data packet comes in on
one of the lines, the router reads the address information in the packet to determine its ultimate
destination.

SCANNER
A scanner is a radio receiver that can automatically tune,
or scan, two or more discrete frequencies, stopping when it
finds a signal on one of them and then continuing to scan
other frequencies when the initial transmission ceases.
The terms radio scanner or police scanner generally
refer to a communications receiver that is primarily intended
for monitoring VHF and UHF landmobile radio systems, as
opposed to, say, a receiver used to monitor international
shortwave transmissions.
More often than not, these scanners can also tune to
different types of modulation as well (AM, FM, WFM, etc).
Early scanners were slow, bulky, and expensive. Today,
modern microprocessors have enabled scanners to store
thousands of channels and monitor hundreds of channels
per second.

Scanner
Input
In computing, an image scanner often abbreviated to just
scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text,
handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image.
Common examples found in offices are variations of the
desktop (or flatbed) scanner where the document is placed on
a glass window for scanning. Hand-held scanners, where the
device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning
wands to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse
engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and
other applications. Mechanically driven scanners that move the
document are typically used for large-format documents, where
a flatbed design would be impractical.
Modern Scanners typically use a charge-coupled device or a
contact image sensor as the image sensor,whereas older
drum scanners use a photomultiplier tube as the image
sensor.A rotary scanner,used for high-speed document
scanning, is another type of drum scanner,using a CCD array instead of a photomultiplier.
