Graphic Tablet is a computer input device that enables a user to hand-draw images,
animations and graphics, with a special pen-like stylus, similar to the way a person draws images with a pencil
and paper. These tablets may also be used to capture data or handwritten signatures.
Computer speakers, or multimedia speakers, are speakers sold for use with computers, although usually capable
of other audio uses, e.g. for an MP3 player. Most such speakers have an internal amplifier and consequently require
a power source, which may be by a mains power supply often via an AC adapter, batteries, or a USB port.
A USB flash drive is a data storage device that includes flash memory with an integrated USB interface. It is
typically removable, rewritable and much smaller.
