Computers before had the same knowledge of present day calculators (or less) and were often the size of a large room. Now computers are smaller, easier to use, hold more memory, can do more advanced and complex computations, much much faster and so on!
The 1957 printing of Webster's New World Dictionary defines:
computer: see calculator
calculator:
1. a person who calculates.
2. a book of tables for calculating.
3. a calculating machine.
Also, computers are smarter and faster these days. A few years ago it took a few days to download something but now it takes a few minutes. Also, if your downloading something you can still do other tasks on the computer because of more RAM. And computers are much more secure now too.
-------------------------------
For me most computers have better graphics and design because of modern technology. Computers change year by year.
