What is a computer?
A computer is an electronic device that manipulates
information, or data. It has the ability
to store, retrieve, and process data. You may already
know that you can use a computer
to type documents, send email, play games, and browse
the Web. You can also use it to
edit or create spreadsheets, presentations, and even
videos.

What are the different types of computers?


When most people hear the word computer, they think
of a personal computer such as a
desktop or laptop. However, computers come in many
shapes and sizes, and they perform

Desktop computers

Many people use desktop computers at work, home, and


school. Desktop computers are designed to be placed on
a desk, and they're typically made up of a few di 菛 erent
parts, including the computer case, monitor, keyboard,
and mouse.

Laptop computers

The second type of computer you may be familiar with is


a laptop computer, commonly called a laptop. Laptops
are battery-powered computers that are more portable
than desktops, allowing you to use them almost
anywhere.

Tablet computers

Tablet computers—or tablets—are handheld computers


that are even more portable than
laptops. Instead of a keyboard and mouse, tablets use a
touch-sensitive screen for typing
and navigation. The iPad is an example of a tablet.

Servers

A server is a computer that serves up information to


other computers on a network. For example, whenever
you use the Internet, you're looking at something that's
stored on a server. Many businesses also use local file
servers to store and share files internally.

What is software?
Software is a collection of data or computer instructions
that tell the computer how to work. This is in contrast
to physical hardware, from which the system is built
and actually performs the work. In computer science
and software engineering, computer software is all
information processed by computer systems, programs
and data. Computer software includes computer
programs,Programming Language, libraries and related
non-executable data, such as online documentation or
digital media. Computer hardware and software require
each other and neither can be realistically used on its
own.
