Port System

A port system acts as a gateway on a computer, allowing different software applications to communicate with hardware devices like printers, keyboards, or external drives. Think of it as a designated docking point where data can enter or exit, ensuring the right information reaches the correct device or service. Ports are numbered (such as port 80 for web traffic), helping computers identify specific tasks or channels. This system organizes data flow efficiently, supporting seamless, multi-tasking operations without conflict or confusion.
