A computer is a programmable machinedesigned to sequentially and automatically carry out a sequence of arithmetic or logical operations. The particular sequence of operations can be changed readily, allowing the computer to solve more than one kind of problem. An important class of computer operations on some computing platforms is the accepting of input from human operators and the output of results formatted for human consumption. The interface between the computer and the human operator is known as theuser interface.
A computer is electrical, electronic and electromechanical. The power supply is an electrical component which is as much a part of the computer as any other part.
The cd drive of a computer is an electromechanical piece of hardware. There are others, this is one example. The motherboard, cards, buses, processors are electronic parts.

What is the difference between a computer and a machine?
The Main difference between a computer and a machine that computer is an intelligent device which has the ability to decide by its own through processing different data analysis while machine is least intelligent and is always waiting for user. For Example, a loader or a drill machine can never work without its Operator While Computer is always acting by its own through following instructions, like Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System which is always getting data from the remote sites and shaped it in proper information.
What is device?
Genaraly a device is a machine designed for a purpose.
Is computer elecronic device or machine?
The primary portion of the computer is an electronic device. It is supported by many external devices and machines such as the monitor, the keyboard, mouse, the cooling fan, etc.
How do i play my laptop sound device through my pc's sound device home networking.?
You cannot play one device through another device.You should be able to find files on one machine with the other machine and play them with the first machine's sound card and other hardware.Share the folder on the machine (computer 1) with the files.On the other machine (computer 2), open a file browser (Explorer in MS Windows) and search the network neighborhood for the files you want to play on computer 1. Open them with the application of your choice on computer 2.
What is the difference between a machine and electronic device and give a proof that a computer system is both a machine and electronic device?
A machine is any device that is used to make work easier while an electronic device is one that uses transistors and other electrical components rather than moving parts (mechanical). A computer operates using electrical components to make the work of processing data easier.
What device is used in computer for converting a high level language to machine language is called?
Compiler.
Is a computer a simple machine?
No. A computer is a complex machine. A simple machine is a mechanical device that uses once force to operate it, (push, pull, lift, leverage). A complex machine required many outside forces to act upon it before it can be operated.
What is a device that is a programmable multiuse machine that converts raw facts and figures into information?
That description fits a computer !
How did Man get the term computer?
So man explored with the idea to develop a machine which can perform this type of arithmetic calculation faster and with full accuracy. This gave birth to a device or machine called 'computer'.Angel
Why every machine is device but every device is not machine?
Every orange is a fruit, but not every fruit is an orange. A knife is a device, but it is not a machine.
Importance of Turing machine?
The Turing machine is the theoretical underpinning of all modern computing devices. The Turing machine is not a physically constructed device, but a way of conceptualizing computer algorithms. See link.
Is a computer a compound?
The term "simple" and "compound" machine refer to physical devices that transform work. The computer is an electronic device whose main operation has no moving parts whatsoever. Any motion within input and storage devices is controlling electrical components, not mechanical ones.
