1. What is computer?

Computer is an electronic device which is capable of receiving information or data and


performs a series of operations in accordance with a set of operations. This produces results
in the form of data or information. Computer is a machine capable of solving problems and
manipulating data. It accepts and processes the data by doing some mathematical and logical
operations and gives us the desired output. The term "computer" is derived from the Latin
word "computare" which means to calculate. It is believed that the Analytical Engine was the
first computer which was invented by Charles Babbage in 1822. It used punch cards as read-
only memory. Charles Babbage is also known as the father of the computer. The first
computer was invented by Charles Babbage (1822) but was not built until 1991! Alan Turing
invented computer science. The ENIAC (1945) was the first electronic general-purpose digital
computer; it filled a room. The Micral N was the world's first “personal computer”(1973).
