What is digital computer?

Answer 1

A computer that stores data in terms of digits (numbers) and proceeds in discrete steps from one state to the next. The states of a digital computer typically involve binary digits which may take the form of the presence or absence of magnetic markers in a storage medium (see memory), on-off switches or relays. In digital computers, even letters, words and whole texts are represented digitally. Unlike analog computers, digital computers can only approximate a continuum by assigning large numbers of digits to a state description and by proceeding in arbitrarily small steps.

Answer 2

Unless you mean a computer produced by Digital, the term refers to most modern computers. Digital means that things are binary and related to on and off signals. However, there are also such things as mechanical and analog computers, and thus the term digital is used as a contrast to them.

In terms of its effect on modern life, (digital) computers are often described as a curse as much as a blessing, in that they enable and allow for many problems the world and humanity was happy without, while at the same time providing much of the foundation of modern life.

Answer 3

A computer that performs calculations and logical operations with quantities represented as digits, usually in the binary number system.
