What is a Computer?

 A computer is an electronic machine that collects information, stores it, processes it according to user
instructions, and then returns the result.
 A computer is a programmable electronic device that performs arithmetic and logical operations automatically
using a set of instructions provided by the user.
 An electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary form, according to instructions given to it
in a variable program.
 A person who makes calculations, especially with a calculating machine.

History of Computers Generation

The word ‘computer’ has a very interesting origin. It was first used in the 16th century for a person who used to
compute, i.e. do calculations. The word was used in the same sense as a noun until the 20th century. Women were hired
as human computers to carry out all forms of calculations and computations.
By the last part of the 19th century, the word was also used to describe machines that did calculations. The modern-day
use of the word is generally to describe programmable digital devices that run on electricity.

Early History of Computer

Since the evolution of humans, devices have been used for calculations for thousands of years. One of the earliest and
most well-known devices was an abacus. Then in 1822, the father of computers, Charles Babbage began developing
what would be the first mechanical computer. And then in 1833 he actually designed an Analytical Engine which was a
general-purpose computer. It contained an ALU, some basic flow chart principles and the concept of integrated memory.
Then more than a century later in the history of computers, we got our first electronic computer for general purpose. It
was the ENIAC, which stands for Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer. The inventors of this computer
were John W. Mauchly and J.Presper Eckert.
And with times the technology developed and the computers got smaller and the processing got faster. We got our first
laptop in 1981 and it was introduced by Adam Osborne and EPSON

PARTS OF A DESKTOP COMPUTER AND ITS USES
MONITOR
A piece of computer hardware that displays the video and graphics
information generated by a connected computer through the
computer's video card.
The video card is an expansion card that allows the computer to send
graphical information to a video display device such as a monitor, TV, or
projector. https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-a-monitor-2618155

COMPUTER CASE/ COMPUTER CHASSIS

It is the enclosure that contains most of the hardware of a personal
computer. The components housed inside the case (such as
the CPU, motherboard, memory, mass storage devices, power supply
unit and various expansion cards) are referred as the internal hardware,
while hardware outside the case (typically cable-linked or plug-and-
play devices such as the display, speakers, keyboard, mouse and USB flash
drives) are known as peripherals.

MOUSE AND KEYBOARD

Most interactions with a computer involve using a keyboard and a mouse.
The keyboard allows the user to type letters and numbers and the mouse
allows the user to position the cursor, draw and execute program functions by
clicking mouse buttons.
Note : Overuse of the keyboard and mouse, especially when these are being
operated with the hands in a deviated posture (bent up or down or to the
side), can cause painful musculoskeletal disorders, such as tendonitis,
tendosynovitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Power Supply Unit

A power supply unit (PSU) converts mains AC to low-voltage regulated DC
power for the internal components of a computer. Modern personal
computers universally use switched-mode power supplies. Some power
supplies have a manual switch for selecting input voltage, while others
automatically adapt to the mains voltage. https://en.wikipedia.org
COMPUTER ORGANIZATION
The computer organization is concerned with the structure and behavior of digital computers.
Functionalities of a Computer If we look at it in a very broad sense, any digital computer carries out the following five
functions:
Step 1 - Takes data as input.
Step 2 - Stores the data/instructions in its memory and uses them as required.
Step 3 - Processes the data and converts it into useful information.
Step 4 - Generates the output.
Step 5 - Controls all the above four step
