What is serial Ports?
A serial port is an area on computers that lets you plug in external devices (such as a mouse, keyboard, or monitor). There are many different types of serial ports, though in recent years the USB (universal serial bus) has become the standard for connections to almost all external devices. Audio elements (such as speakers or microphones) still typically use more simple connectors, and monitors typically use DVI ports.
