A computer is a machine that manipulates data according to a set of instructions. Although mechanical examples of computers have existed through much of recorded human history, the first electronic computers were developed in the mid-20th century (1940–1945). These were the size of a large room, consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers (PCs). Modern computers based on integrated circuits are millions to billions of times more capable than the early machines, and occupy a fraction of the space. Simple computers are small enough to fit into a wristwatch, and can be powered by a watch battery. Personal computers in their various forms are icons of the Information Age and are what most people think of as "computers". The embedded computers found in many devices from MP3 players to fighter aircraft and from toys to industrial robots are however the most numerous. The ability to store and execute lists of instructions called programs makes computers extremely versatile, distinguishing them from calculators. The Church–Turing thesis is a mathematical statement of this versatility: any computer with a certain minimum capability is, in principle, capable of performing the same tasks that any other computer can perform. Therefore computers ranging from a mobile phone to a supercomputer are all able to perform the same computational tasks, given enough time and storage capacity. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by Ricardo J - Mon Feb 2 15:49:03 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I would not use a computer to control the network. Use a router - that's what it is designed to do. As far as printing, you can use a network print server or just share printers connected to the computers on the network Answered by johntrottier - Mon Feb 2 16:27:08 2009 WHy does the computers freeze up and restart internet explorer?

Q. I need to connect two computers to one monitor, and also connect one mouse and one keyboard to two computers. Is there a way to do this? Asked by carrliadiere - Sat Apr 28 07:32:21 2007 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A. Many of your respondents are correct: you need a KVM switch. I use one that allows me to work on 8 different computers with one keyboard, one mouse and one monitor. I use it to load software on multiple machines, etc. On purchasing such a device make sure you get compatible ports and cables. ie if you want to use VGA to your monitor get VGA and not DVI and vice versa. Some support USB mice and not PS2. And some of the cheaper KVM's don't support high monitor resolutions like 1600x1200 so check that out too. And make sure either cables are included or you buy the correct cables.I even have one that I use two computers on that use dual monitors. Very cool! I got mine at Good luck.

Computers take many forms, from early room-sized complexes to modern personal computers (PCs) and personal digital assistants (PDAs) to tiny embedded systems that add sophisticated capabilities to other devices like toys and appliances.
