Computers were originally used to perform large calculations in a short amount of time, whereas a human would use much longer time.
The computer was designed to solve math problems. It then evolved into what we have today. Before computers, the abacus was a popular tool for calculating, and was usually faster then the computer (in fact, people made money by betting on what would solve first: abacus or computer)

The first recorded use of the word in the English language was in 1613 and referred to a person - someone who computed. The first recorded use of the word for an electrical item which did the computation for you was 1897. Although Charles Babbage had devised what was effectively a mechanical computer in 1837, the term, 'computer' was not used for it. He called it an 'Analytical Engine'.
The word computer dates back to the Latin word compute which means to calculate, reckon, to count up. This became a French word computer which meant to calculate. By the 1600s the word was used in English to describe the person doing the calculations. By the 1800s the word computer was used to describe equipment capable of doing calculations, slide rules and time keeping devices, which subsequently evolved to describe the electronic computers that arrived in the late 1940s and has now become computers as we know them today.
