    Computer is an electronic device capable of accepting data and instructions to perform logical and mathematical operations to produce meaningful information. It has the capabilities of storing and retrieving information, performing logic, controlling errors, and checking itself. However, it is limited in its inability to derive meaning from objects or generate information on its own. Computers are widely used in business, medicine, education, engineering, manufacturing, and other areas such as numerical computation, information storage, word processing, and computer graphics. Common causes of computer failure include input errors, errors in instructions, communication gaps, improper controls, and lack of standards or manufacturer support.
