A computer designed to perform, or that is capable of performing, in a reasonably efficient manner, the functions required by both scientific and business applications. Note:A general purpose computer is often understood to be a large system, capable of supporting remote terminal operations, but it may also be a smaller computer, e.g., a desktop workstation. Refers to computers that follow instructions, thus virtually all computers from micro to mainframe are general purpose. Even computers in toys, games and single-function devices follow instructions in their built-in program. In contrast, computational devices can be designed from scratch for special purposes Either you make a general-purpose computer that can do everything that every other computer can do; or you make a special-purpose device that can do only an infinitesimally small fraction of all the interesting computations one might want to do. There's no in-between. Here's my try at such an explanation, geared to Washington concepts: Suppose you want telephone calls answered, for an office. You can either hire a human and have that person be a receptionist, or buy an automated telephone answering machine. The human receptionist who has the task of answering telephone calls will also be able to answer letters or do any other clerical task. The automated telephone answering machine will never be able to do anything other than answer telephone calls. There is no in-between, where there's a machine which will do all general clerical work, but nothing else. Moreover, to continue the analogy, the human receptionist, as a consequence of general-purpose ability, will also be able to tell unauthorized people who has been telephoning the office. And perhaps even what the contents of the telephone calls contain (copying!). An automated telephone answering machine will never be able do that either (on its own). This is simply two sides of the same coin of having general-purpose ability. Note this problem has been well-known since ancient times - where rulers would maim servants in various ways (e.g. cutting-out the tongues of slaves) in brutal attempts to prevent what might be called nowadays, unauthorized information transfer. Recent legislative proposals are perhaps the modern equivalent of those crippling practices.
Computers communicating with each other has allowed for many things that we now take for granted. The internet, for instance, relies on many computers communicating with each other to transfer information from one place to another very quickly. Banks rely on computers communicating to run automated teller machines. Stores rely on computers communicating to notify each of inventory and other things. Telephone systems now rely on computers communicating with each other.
i personally think it may be good, but it could also be bad because we then would rely on computers for everything.
Almost all kinds of computers can be used as a client computer in a client server system, depending on the needs of the client. For example, some clients relies on the local CPU and some rely on the computer's local storage.
If magnets and electromagnets were never invented, it is likely computers would not exist. The first computers required the magnetic properties of relays and/or vacuum tubes to function. Even modern computers rely on magnetics to spin fans, spin hard drives, CD/DVD drives, produce sound, provide power through the power supply, increase voltage through induction, rectify power flow, and read/write data to hard drives, floppy drives, and other magnetic media.

Yes, they rely heavily on computers.

They rely on machines and computers to do the work.

Most people would consider them helpful though there are people that think we rely on them too much
People have positive experiences because it is a tremendous source od data that people rely on.

The only purpose is that the owner of a cattle farm can rely on someone else to supply capital for them when needed. But LLC's are not necessary for a cattle operation: there are plenty of producers that rely on themselves (being sole proprietors) to supply capital for their own operation.
