Discover Ways To Extend Your Computer’s Capabilities – headphones with microphone

Once your computer knowledge and confidence grows, you will be eager to expand your personal computer’s capabilities.  A wide range of devices is available that will make working with your computer even more interesting and enjoyable.  Here are some extras that can be collected over time:   

      – Modems.  Basically, there are two main types of modems.  Internal modems are installed inside the system unit in one of the spare slots at the back.  External modems sit outside your computer, on your desk, and plug into one of the serial ports at the back of the system unit.  Once you have a model, you can connect to the internet, send emails, and send and receive faxes, using your computer as a fax machine.   

      – Scanners.  A scanner will transform your paper images and photo prints into graphic files that you can then edit and use on your PC.  Flatbed scanners, in which you lay your images face down and a light-sensitive device passes undernealth, are the most versatile and affordable type of scanner.  Buy a scanner with a resolution capability of atleast 300dpi.   

      – Digital Cameras.  Digital cameras look similar to ordinary cameras, but take photographs without using any film.  The picture is stored as a graphic file that you can transfer directly to your computer through a connection cord.  Good quality cameras are quite expensive, but it’s worth remembering that you won’t need to buy film and get it developed, and you don’t need a scanner.   

      – Joysticks.  If you’re a fan of computer games, a joystick is essential.  Many home PCs come with their own joystick, but you can also buy joystick with extra feature buttons and better grips.  They plug into a port in your system unit.  The best joysticks are those that also provide feedback.  It’s also possible to buy steering wheels and pedals for driving games.   

      – Video Cameras.  If you mount a small video camera on the top of your computer, you can conduct video conferences.  These small cameras are also used for the WebCam sites on the internet.  Bear in mind that video conferencing require a powerful PC, and without special high-speed phone lines, the picture can be jerky and the sound can stutter.   

      – headphones with microphones.  They are available for common computer usage like recording a narration.  But it is now possible to use a headphones with microphone in conjunction with speech-recognition software.  This means that you don’t have to type in anything you just have to say it.  Unless you spend a long time teaching it to recognize your voice, may give poor results.   

Your added devices can also be bought to make the most of existing on-screen entertainments.  The new generation of joysticks for instance, really take game playing to a new dimension.  Like I mentioned earlier, you can have all these over time but you don’t need to buy everything on the same shopping trip.
