What else can I help you with?
How can a computer be distinguished from other machines or devices?
By its ability to store information and retrieve it at a later time.
Computers are distinguished from other computing devices by their ability to?
Assuming that computers a subset of the higher class of "computing devices" then the first question is what belongs in the computing devices higher class that doesn't belong in the computers subclass. It's difficult to say because everything that belongs in the computing devices class could be classified as a "computer" as well, because it computes by definition of being a computing device. Typically when we refer to computers, we specifically mean main frame computers, mini-computers, or personal computers. We don't typically mean cell phones, calculators, or personal data assistants (PDA's) though all of these undoubtedly compute. What distinguishes computers from these devices, in general, is their ability to be programmed to do custom tasks that they were not originally developed to do. Most of the other computing devices can not be programmed in and of themselves to do other tasks they were not originally designed to do, however there are exceptions. Cell phones can run custom applications (though you cannot typically write the applications on the cell phone itself. The same goes for PDAs and calculators. Some of the more complex calculators are not unlike some of the first personal computers in their ability to be programmed, but their programming power is rather limited. In short, computers can be programmed, but so can many of the other computing devices, but still it does distinguish them from many of the other computing devices because ALL computers can be programmed, whereas only a subset of the other computing devices can be programmed.
What types of machines are cooled by these system cooling products?
Computers, printers and other machines are cooled from these cooling systems.
What are the various appliances and devices that use electricity in an apartment?
Appliances and devices in an apartment that use electricity include refrigerators, stoves, microwaves, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, televisions, computers, lamps, air conditioners, heaters, and chargers for phones and other electronics.
Computers are specially designed computer chips that reside inside other devices such as a car?
Embedded computers
Why do certain electronics use docking stations instead of standard outlet plugs?
Docking stations are needed for older computers that have a need to connect to various other hardware devices like printers, fax machines, and mice.
What are commnication devices?
Phones, computers-anything where people can talk to each other.
Why computer is different from other electronic devices?
Computers are distinct from other electronic devices due to their ability to perform complex calculations, process data, and execute various programs through a programmable architecture. They feature a multifunctional design that allows users to run diverse applications, from word processing to gaming, while other devices often serve specific, limited purposes. Additionally, computers typically have a more robust operating system and hardware capabilities, enabling them to manage multiple tasks simultaneously. This versatility and computational power set computers apart as general-purpose machines.
What are the uses for infrared technology in communication?
Infrared (IR) can be used by computers and other electronic devices to transfer data to other devices short distances.
What stores sell flatbed scanners?
Stores that sell computers and other electronic devices.
What other devices that can be used in networking a computers without using RJ45?
You can wireless connection.
Is a wireless network that provides Internet connections to mobile computers and other devices?
hotspot
