A computer is a programmable machine that receives input, stores and manipulates data, and provides output in a useful format.
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).[1] 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
computers have come a long way since british mathematician charles Babage invented his Difference engine,infact he made a seed for this computers with his invention .
this early machine would able to make complicated calculations snd print the results
.from this machine computer has made its way to modern super computer
