Peripheral - Definition
A Peripheral is any external device, such as a disk drive, printer, modem, or joystick, that is connected to a computer and is controlled by the computer’s microprocessor. Some people do not consider internal devices such as video capture cards to be peripherals because they are added inside the computer case; for them, the term peripherals is reserved exclusively for devices that are hooked up externally to the computer.
