What is Computer and its generations?
A computer is an electronic device that accepts the data as an input, processed it, and then generates the result as output. Data can be stored for a long time in the storage device so that it can be retrieved as soon as it is needed again.
The computer is a word that comes from the Latin word “Compute” which means to calculate. It is made up of both hardware and software. Charles Babbage is said to be the father of the computer because he was the first to invent it.
A computer system mainly consists of a central processing unit (CPUs), memory, input/output devices, and storage devices. All these components work together as a unit to give the desired output.
