But The "PC" we know today- Originated around the 60's-70's, and the technology really took off in the late 90's due to Bill Gates, Netscape, and all of the internet pioneers who worked countless hours improving the PC and the internet especcially.

Not all electronic devices are computer, discuss In details?

First you need to able to distinguish between electronic device and and computerize device. Electronic devices are device that needs power source (electricity) for operation. While a computer is an electronic device that accept data, process data and give an output base on the received input. Not all electronic devices are computer with the below key points. A computer have input unit, processing and output unit which other electronic devices do not have this features. A computer must be able to accept instructions, eg your mobile phones, calculators can accept instructions so they are computer because they have an input method.
