USB and 2007FP

I just got this new monitor.  My question is:  do I have to connect the usb?  I have not done so, and the monitor works fine.
What is the USB cable for, and what are the advantages/disadvantages of using it?
I do not play games, but will be editing home videos.  Otherwise the computer is for admin work, browsing, and photo editing.
Thanks for your help.

    You can if you wish to.  It just connects additional USB devices to the monitor.  Like your mouse, keyboard, etc.  You don't have to if you do not wish.  I tried mine for a while but now just leave it alone.

    Dim 4400
    2.6 Ghz 400 FSB
    1 Gb 2100 DDR Memory
    20 Gb hard drive 7,200
    Windows XP Home - SP-2
    Leadtek 6600 GT
    48xCDRW
    17 LCD ( 1703 FP )
    250 watt power supply

    Thanks!  You just saved me a few $$, as a USB hub was on my shopping list.  I didn't realize what this monitor USB cable was capable of.  I have hooked everything up, and now have enough USB ports for my (current) needs.  Would that all tech problems had a similar quick, happy outcome. Thanks again.
