computer 

                                                        👉 A programmable machine that performs high-speed processing of numbers, as well as of text, graphics, symbols, and sound. All computers contain a central processing unit that interprets and executes instructions; input devices, such as a keyboard and a mouse, through which data and commands enter the computer; memory that enables the computer to store programs and data; and output devices, such as printers and display screens, that show the results after the computer has processed data.

COMPUTER DIFINITION︖
😄👉  An electronic device that stores and manipulates information. Unlike a calculator, it is able to store a program and retrieve information from its memory. Most computers today are digital, which means they perform operations with quantities represented electronically as digits.


Major types of computers


Analog computer - represents data by measurable quantities
Desktop computer - a personal computer that fits on a desk and is often used for business or gaming
Digital computer - operates with numbers expressed as digits
Hybrid computer - combines features of both analog and digital computers
Laptop (notebook) - an easily transported computer that is smaller than a briefcase
Mainframe (big iron) computer - a centralized computer used for large scale computing
Microcomputer - generally referred to as a PC (personal computer). Uses a single integrated semiconductor chip microprocessor.
Minicomputer - an antiquated term for a computer that is smaller than a mainframe and larger than a microcomputer
Netbook - a smaller and less powerful version of a laptop
Personal computer (PC) - a digital computer designed to be used by one person at a time
Smartphone - a cellular telephone designed with an integrated computer
Supercomputer - a high performing computer that operates at extremely high speeds
Tablet computer (tablet PC) - a wireless personal computer with a touch screen
Workstation - equipment designed for a single user to complete a specialized technical/scientific task

COMPUTER BASIC KNOWLEDGE What is Computer   : Computer is an electronic device that is designed to work  with  Information .  The term computer  is  derived from the Latin term  ‘ computare ’, this means  to  calculate  or  programmable machine .  Computer can not do anything without a  Program . It represents the decimal numbers through a string of  binary digits . The Word  ‘Computer’ usually refers to the Center Processor Unit plus Internal memory. Charles Babbage  is called the “Grand Father” of the computer. The First mechanical computer designed by Charles Babbage was called  Analytical Engine .  It uses read-only memory in the form of punch cards. Computer is an advanced electronic device that takes raw data as input from the user and processes these data under the control of set of instructions (called program) and gives the result (output) and saves output for the future use. It can proce...
