Computers are general-purpose devices that can be programmed to carry out a set
of arithmetic or logical operations automatically. Since a sequence of operations can
be readily changed, the computer can solve more than one kind of problem.
Conventionally, a computer consists of at least one processing element, typically
a central processing unit (CPU), and some form of memory. The processing element
carries out arithmetic and logic operations, and a sequencing and control unit can
change the order of operations in response to stored information. Peripheral
devices allow information to be retrieved from an external source, and the result of
operations saved and retrieved.
Mechanical analog computers started appearing in the first century and were later
used in the medieval era for astronomical calculations. In World War II, mechanical
analog computers were used for specialized military applications such as calculating
torpedo

aiming.

During

this

time

the

first

electronic digital computers were

developed. Originally they were the size of a large room, consuming as much power
as several hundred modern personal computers (PCs).
Modern computers based on integrated circuits are millions to billions of times more
capable than the early machines, and occupy a fraction of the space. Computers are
small enough to fit into mobile devices, and mobile computers can be powered by
small batteries.

Personal

computers

in

their

various

forms

are icons of

the Information Age and are what most people consider as computers. However,
the embedded computers found in many devices from MP3 players to fighter
aircraft and from electronic toys to industrial robots are the most numerous.

The invention of the computer is one of the most remarkable innovations that have
occurred over the last ten decades. The modern world is deemed digital, what most
people fail to appreciate however is that the source of life being digital is the
computer. Gone are the days when executing stuff was done manually. Today at the
click of a button, rocket machines has been launched, ICU life-support is run; instant
communication is enabled, to mention but a few.
Computers are defined as programmable machines that have two key features: they
respond to a specific set of instruction (given by the human) that have been well
defined and they can execute a pre-recorded list of instructions usually referred to as
a program. Therefore computers execute what they have been instructed to.
Computers have evolved over the years from the static mainframe computers to the
portable modern computers that we use today. Modern computers are both electronic
and digital, and consist of the actual machinery such as wires circuits and transistors
these are referred to as hardware, and the data and instructions that are fed into the
computer which are collectively referred to as software.
