The word "computer" originally referred to a person who could do advanced math very quickly.
Later, the term was attached to the ENIAC (the first computer) which could do very advanced calculations in a short amount of time, but unfortunately occupied an entire gym-sized room.
The ENIAC led to the development of the Kenbak-1 (the first personal computer/calculator) and eventually to modern computers. Hence, the name was permanently attached to any device that could do advanced functions.
As this development took place, more tasks could be accomplished by computers including --but not limited to-- the storage, transfer, and viewing of information, playing games, and communication.
Computers are now used in many locations for specific purposes:
* On your desktop or lap * In planes, cars, trains, and other methods of transportation * In our home and cell phones
* In anything that has a screen * In satellites and other space craft (manned and unmanned)
classification of computer according to application 1.general purpose computer :- general purpose computer are use for specific economic purpose.for instance computer are used for accounting and payrolls.pc is the best example of g.p.c. 2.specific purpose computer :- specific purpose computer are designed to solve a specific problem. for instance specific purpose computer only numeric data or to completely control automated manufacturing process.
Computers can be classified into general purpose and special purpose computers. General purpose computers can be applied to a variety of tasks while special purpose computers are molded to suit a particular task.
The purpose of the electronic computer was to make conversion of raw data into useful information easier. Before the electronic computer, people used mechanical computers like the Abacus.
find problems
Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer, was the first general-purpose electronic computer.
purpose of using computer
No, a personal computer is an example of a general-purpose computer. The computer in a VCR is designed for the specific purpose of operating the VCR.
The main purpose of an Apple computer is computing.
1.Special purpose computer General Purpose Computer
the purpose of buffers in computer architectures i dont know
Special Purpose: Special purpose computer are used for only specific or perticular task.Mostly computer are used by doctors. Like ECG computer are any computer which used for surgery. Some special computer are used for weather controlling or weather research, some used by army for deffence purpose.
the purpose of the computer mouse is to operate the computer using a small device called the mouse.
the purpose of the computer mouse is to operate the computer using a small device called the mouse.
The purpose of the computer charger is to have the incredible ability to be able to charge electronic devices on the computer as well as view other things on them via the computer.
There are either special-purpose or general purpose computers.
