This is your monitor. No, it does not "monitor" your Web surfing activities. If it doesn't appear to be working, make sure it is plugged in, and both it and the computer itself are turned on.


A Typical Mouse The Mouse
This is your mouse. No, it is not a disease-carrying rodent.
A Typical Keyboard The Keyboard
This is your keyboard. No, there is not an "any" key. When a program says Hit any key to continue, it means that you can hit whatever key you want, although it should be a key that transmits a character, not a modifier like SHIFT or CONTROL.
