∙ 14y agoComputers can support a very wide range of tasks. They can be specialized for their duties, such as an embedded computer in an airplane for navigation, or they can be designed to support a variety of different tasks, like a personal computer.
As a very basic definition, computers are machines that receive, send, manipulate, and store data. In this way they can organize data or perform calculations. Most people think of the personal computer when they hear the word "computer" - these machines can send and retrieve useful information to and from the internet, as well as organize and store individuals' personal data. The computer in an MP3 player, for example, is specialized in its tasks of organizing, receiving, and sending data related to music. All in all, however, they perform the same basic functions: send, receive, manipulate, and store data.
