Programmable devices can be customized by users for their application. Consider the difference between a Read Only Memory (ROM) and a Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM). A ROM is programmed by the manufacturer and delivered to the user. The function of the ROM is the same no matter who uses it. A PROM is a type of ROM that is delivered blank to the user. The user can store a custom program on the PROM to tailor the device for their application. In short, a programmable device can be customized by the user.

The Jacquard loom, on display at theMuseum of Science and Industry in Manchester, England, was one of the first programmable devices.
Programmable array logic is used for designing the digital circuits easily.for example large function which has several variable can easily implemented by using programmable array logic.These are the type of PLD's programmable logic devices.
There are nine companies in the United States than sell field programmable gate array devices. A couple of these companies are QuickLogic, and Lattice Semiconductor.
Programmable logic devices were invented in the late seventies and since then have proved to be very popular and are now one of the largest growing sectors in the semiconductor industry. Why are programmable logic devices so widely used? Programmable logic devices provide designers ultimate flexibility, time to market advantage, design integration, are easy to design with and can be reprogrammed time and time again even in the field to upgrade system functionality.
most/all input devices are with a software called glovepie.

converting electrical devices into programmable appliances
Depends on what you mean by "programmable". AIX is the commercial offshoot version of UNIX provided by IBM and is proprietary.
Programmable CDs mean that the CD can be customized for a number of applications.
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is widely used in Industrial automation system. It has a power supply, memory, processor and input output cards. Field signal are connected to INput output devices
PC stands for Personal Computer.
