What is Computer?

A computer is an electronic system that uses instructions to store, retrieve, and process data by using hardware and software.

It uses computer programming to perform arithmetical or logical operations sequences.

The computer contains particularly arithmetic and logical units i.e. ALU.

Computers can be technology-based ie. It can be digital, analog, or hybrid.

There are also several other Super Computers, Personal Computers, Desktops, Laptops, etc.

The computer is often known to be a computing machine since, without software, it cannot do anything.

It takes user raw data as an input process and produces user output.

In simple words, we can say that the digital computer is an electronic device along with its components i.e. hardware and software (just like apps on mobile).

It makes our life easier by processing raw data output in any form given to it, into meaningful data as desired by the user.

There is a lot of software and hardware available in the market as per the user requirements.

Classification of the Computer on the basis of Generations:-

The Generations of computers are defined on the basis of major technological changes:-

First Generation (1940-1956) – uses vacuum tubes, ENIAC was the first computer of this generation.

Second Generation (1956-1963) – uses transistors rather than vacuum tubes.

Third Generation (1964-1971)- ICs (integrated circuits) was used in place of transistors which reduced the size of computers.

Fourth Generation (1972-2010) – uses microprocessors and ICs.

Fifth Generation (2010- present) – the fifth generation of computers uses AI (artificial intelligence) and some best examples of these are Siri on iPhone, and Cortana on Windows 8, and 10.
