The purpose of a USB (Universal Serial Bus) port in a computer is to provide a standardized interface for connecting various external devices to the computer. USB ports allow for the transfer of data, as well as powering and charging devices. These ports are commonly used to connect devices like keyboards, mice, printers, external storage devices (e.g., USB flash drives and external hard drives), cameras, smartphones, headphones, and many other peripherals. USB has become the standard connection method due to its versatility, ease of use, and wide compatibility across different devices.
