In this tutorial I will describe about what is computer? As we all are aware that Computer is an electronic device which is used to convert raw data into meaningful infomation. So, I would like to explain about comptuer here.

Definition of Computer: Computer is an electronic device that is designed to work with Information. The term 'computer is derived from the Latin term 'computare', this means to calculate. Computer can not do anything without a Program. It represents the decimal numbers through a string of binary digits. The word 'Computer' usually refers to the Centeral Processor Unit and Internal memory.
Computer is an advanced electronic device that takes raw data as input from the user and processes these data under the control of set of instructions (called program) and gives the result (output) and saves output for the future use. It can process both numerical and non-numerical (arithmetic and logical) calculations. The basic components of a modern digital computer are: Input Device,Output Device,Central Processor. A typical modern computer uses LSI Chips.
Charles Babbage is called the "Grand Father" of the computer. The First mechanical computer designed by Charles Babbage was called Analytical Engine. It uses read-only memory in the form of punch cards.
Four functionalites about computers are:

Four functionalites about computers are:
- Accepts Data Input
- Process Data Processing
- Produces Output Output
- Stores Results Storage
Input (Data):
Input is the raw information entered into a computer from the input devices. It is the collection of letters, numbers, images etc.
Process:
Process is the operation of data as per given instruction. It is totally internal process of the computer system.
Output:
Output is the processed data given by computer after data processing. Output is also called as Result. We can save these results in the storage devices for the future use.
