Explain different output devices

Output devices are those devices which display the required result in simple words to the users. The output device provides the output of data or information. The purpose of the output devices is to translate data and information from electrical impulses to a human-readable format. There are two principal kinds of output. They are described below:
Soft copy output: It refers to data that is shown on a display screen or sound produced by a speaker. It is present in a digital form on a computer. This kind of output is untouchable. It is temporary in nature. For example, content displayed on a screen.
Hardcopy output It refers to printed output printed on the paper or some material that can be touched and carried for being shown to others. It is permanent in nature and can keep in paper files or can be looked later when a person is not using the computer. For example, outputs produced on paper by printer or plotter in the form of text or graphics, etc.
