What is a computer?

You may have never asked yourself this question before but I will ask you know, And I want to know in your own words, rambles, and even nonsense, What Is a Computer?.

NG, Are you going to be negative about the existance?, Postive?, Will you completely ignore the topic and compare an Xbox One to a Playstation 4?, Oh boy you, For the sake of the longevity of the thread, No consoles aloud.

I hope we have all grown up with a computer, A legitamate piece of engineering, Some of you might have had the chance to experience the growth and beginnings of the computer.

The computer has always had a lot of "Nerd" Negativity in the old times, However today the term is technically abolished among a simple acquisition of even non-computer related basic skills, Did you ever grow through the old times?, Did you ever notice the transition?

The computer has existed for us almost throughout our entire lives, constantly changing just as everything else, What do you think would be the biggest change to come?

So NG, What do you think?

In the most basest of terms a computer is something that can perform calculations.

- The earliest traces of computing dates back to ancient babylonia - They used the abacus. Note that that abacus is neither electrical nor mechanical.

- The first known analog computational device is the antikythera mechanism. It was used to calculate the stars positioning.

- In the 1970's People were computers. They were computers in the sense that that was their occupation.

If they can't be loud in here, then can we have them here as long as they can they be quiet?

A computer is a device that helps you compute specific information.

NG, Are you going to be negative about the existance?, Postive?, Will you completely ignore the topic and compare an Xbox One to a Playstation 4?, Oh boy you, For the sake of the longevity of the thread, No consoles aloud.

About what? Huh? None of them compare to PC.

I hope we have all grown up with a computer, A legitamate piece of engineering, Some of you might have had the chance to experience the growth and beginnings of the computer.

Long ago, in the time before time... when I grew up, there were no computers! At least I didn't get to try one until I was around ten, anyway.... it was a surreal experience I guess but have no memory of.

Did you ever grow through the old times?, Did you ever notice the transition?

It must've been recent, but suddenly, the term is no longer used. Indeed. O_i

The computer has existed for us almost throughout our entire lives, constantly changing just as everything else, What do you think would be the biggest change to come?

Global sun storms with strong magnetism that completely wipes our drives and force us back to the stone age.
