Computers are electronic devices designed to process data according to a set of instructions called software. The basic components of a computer include a central processing unit (CPU) for performing operations, memory for storing data and programs, and input/output devices for interaction with the user and other systems. Over the decades, computers have evolved from large, room-sized machines to portable devices such as laptops and smartphones. They play a crucial role in various aspects of modern society, including business, education, science, and entertainment. Modern computers are capable of a broad range of functions from simple calculations to complex problem-solving operations, powered by advancements in technology and increases in speed, power, and memory capacity.
