LESSON 1 - OVERVIEW OF THE COMPUTER

Computers in the form of personal desktop computers, laptops and tablets have
become such an important part of everyday living that it can be difficult to
remember a time when they did not exist. In reality, computers as they are
known and used today are still relatively new. Although computers have
technically been in use since the abacus approximately 5000 years ago, It is
modern computers that have had the greatest and most profound effect on society.
The first full-sized digital computer in history was developed in 1944.
Called the Mark I, this computer was used only for calculations and weighed
five tons. Despite its size and limited ability it was the first of many that would
start off generations of computer development and growth.

WHAT IS COMPUTER?
Computer in the most general sense, is just a device that accepts
data or input, and processes it in some way to automatically
produce a result. When a computer is doing any kind of work,
whether it is opening an application, editing an image, or playing a
song, it is computing. Computing, in the most general sense, means
calculating. For a computer to operate correctly, many different
parts of the computer must communicate and interact with one
another in just the right way.
