What is a computer?
|
What is a computer? You can start here, for something similar to what you are thinking… But perhaps there are some that do not even use electricity? Or perhaps may not even have moving parts? We define a computer as a device that accepts input and processes it in some way to produce an output automatically. Based on that definition, you might see how all four of the devices shown above may be considered computers. You also still may be scratching your head and thinking “Well, wait a minute…”. If so, good! You’re already beginning the critical-thinking process. |
