  A   handheld game console , or simply   handheld console , is a small, portable self-contained   video game console   with a built-in screen, game controls and speakers. [ 1 ]   Handheld game consoles are smaller than   home video game consoles   and contain the console, screen, speakers, and controls in one unit, allowing players to carry them and play them at any time or place. In 1976,  Mattel  introduced the first  handheld electronic game  with the release of  Auto Race . [ 4 ]  Later, several companies—including  Coleco  and  Milton Bradley —made their own single-game, lightweight table-top or handheld electronic game devices. [ 5 ]  The first commercial successful handheld console was  Merlin  from 1978, which sold more than 5 million units. [ 6 ]  The first handheld game console with interchangeable  cartridges  is the Milton Bradley  Microvision  in 197...

  What is a mouse? A mouse is a small device that a computer user pushes across a desk surface in order to point to a place on a display screen and to select one or more actions to take from that position. The mouse first became a widely used computer tool when Apple Computer made it a standard part of the Apple Macintosh. Today, the mouse is an integral part of the graphical user interface (GUI) of any PC. The mouse apparently got its name by being about the same size and color as a toy mouse. Mice typically have two buttons, a scroll wheel and a  laser  sensor. They are used to move the  cursor  on the screen, select objects and click on buttons. History of the mouse The first mouse was invented in 1964 by Douglas Engelbart, a computer scientist at the Stanford Research Institute. Engelbart's mouse was a wooden box with two wheels on the bottom and two buttons on top. It was connected to a computer by a wire. The mouse was not widely adopted until the early 19...

  What is a Speaker? Speakers are used to connect to a computer to generate sound, which are one of the most common output devices. Some speakers are designed to connect with any kind of sound system, while some can be hooked up only with computers. With the computer speaker, the computer's sound card creates a signal that is used to produce sound. The primary objective of speakers is to offer audio output for the listener. The electromagnetic waves are converted into sound waves through the speaker as they are transducers. The devices, like an audio receiver or computer, give audio input to speakers, which may be in the form of analog or digital. The function of the analog speaker is simply to magnify the analog electromagnetic waves into sound waves. The sound waves are produced in analog form, but first, the digital input is converted into an analog signal by digital speakers then the sound waves are generated. The amplitude and frequency define the sound produced by speakers. T...

  A   tablet computer , commonly shortened to   tablet , is a   mobile device , typically with a   mobile operating system   and   touchscreen   display processing   circuitry , and a   rechargeable battery   in a single, thin and flat package. Tablets, being computers, have similar capabilities, but lack some   input/output   (I/O) abilities that others have. Modern tablets largely resemble modern   smartphones , the only differences being that tablets are relatively larger than smartphones, with screens 7 inches (18 cm) or larger, measured diagonally, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ]   and may not support access to a   cellular network . Unlike   laptops   (which have traditionally run off operating systems usually designed for desktops), tablets usually run mobile operating systems, alongside smartphones. The touchscreen display is operated by   gestures   executed by finger or   digi...

  A   computer   is a   machine   that can be   programmed   to automatically   carry out   sequences of   arithmetic   or   logical operations   ( computation ). Modern   digital electronic   computers can perform generic sets of operations known as   programs . These programs enable computers to perform a wide range of tasks. The term   computer system   may refer to a nominally complete computer that includes the   hardware ,   operating system ,   software , and   peripheral   equipment needed and used for full operation; or to a group of computers that are linked and function together, such as a   computer network   or   computer cluster . A broad range of  industrial  and  consumer products  use computers as  control systems , including simple special-purpose devices like  microwave ovens  and  remote controls , a...
