What is a Computer

Lesson 1/1 | Study Time: 10 Min

A computer is an intelligent electronic device that can accept data (input), process that data according to a set of instructions (process), store the data for future use (storage), and produce results (output). What makes computers unique is their speed, accuracy, versatility, and ability to store large amounts of information.

For example, when you type an assignment using a word processor, the keyboard acts as an input device, the computer processes your typing, saves your work on the hard drive, and finally, displays your text on the monitor—these are all basic computer functions at work.

Computers aren’t limited to desktops or laptops. They can be as large as supercomputers processing scientific data or as small as smartphones in your pocket. Even other daily technologies, such as ATMs and smart appliances, are essentially specialised computers.
