Computer Fundamental
• Today’s world is an information-rich world and it has become a
necessity for everyone to know about computers.
• A computer is an electronic data processing device, which accepts
and stores data input, processes the data input, and generates the
output in a required format.
• Computer is an Electronic Device. It is use to calculate and
manipulate data. If we give any instruction to the computer it gives
us output(Result).
What is COMPUTER?
• The word computer comes from the word ”compute”, which means
“to calculate”.
• Thereby, A computer is an electronic device that can perform
Arithmetic operations as well as logical operations at high speed.

process and retrieved data whenever desired.
 Father of Computer
• Charles Babbage, British Mathematics
professor regarded as the Father of Computers.
• He was born in England in 1792 as the son of a
rich banker.

many different types of calculations
• Lack of better technology Babbage could not
complete their work and passed away in 1871
before he had completed his work.
