Hmm some of the readers might think this a very trivial question. However it is important to note that this is the building block of all networks including the World Wide Web that we crawl on everyday. So what is this thing?
A computer, very simply, is a device that computes or calculates. It is a CALCULATOR! However a notch better. A computer consists of 3 things: Input Device(s), a Processing Unit and a Display (output) Device(s). the input devices are the keyboards and the mice. With these one can type in data (numbers, alphabets, special characters etc). This information is then processed in the processing unit which takes data from the input devices and processes it. Once that is done, the processed information is displayed on the output device or the display device (monitor) for the user to verify. Oh by the way all of this is done within few seconds or even less than that depending on the processing unit.
That is a computer. Got it????
