Computer Origin and Definition || Brief History of Computer

Meaning of the word computer Computer word derived from a Latin word "compute" which means "to calculate" "to count" "to sum up" or "think together". so, in short, the word computer means a device that performs computation". According to Wikipedia computer was first used in a book called "the young mans gleanings" in 1613. Definition - What does  Computer  mean? A computer is an electronic device or machine that can perform arithmetic operations (like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, etc as well as logical operations (like comparisons). A computer is capable of receiving data or information in the form of input and perform a sequence of operations on it and give output to the user. In simpler words, computers accept data to store it manipulates it and gives a result. A computer is a programmed device with a set of instructions to perform specific tasks and generate results at a very high speed. ...
