    see Computer (disambiguation) and Computer system
    (disambiguation).
    A computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out
    arbitrary sequences of arithmetic or logical operations
    automatically. The ability of computers to follow
    generalized sets of operations, called programs, enables
    them to perform an extremely wide range of tasks.
    Such computers are used as control systems for a very wide
    variety of industrial and consumer devices. This includes
    simple special purpose devices like microwave
    ovens and remote controls, factory devices such
    as industrial robots and computer assisted design, but also
    in general purpose devices like personal
    computers and mobile devices such as smartphones.
    The Internet is run on computers and it connects millions of
    other computers.
    Since ancient times, simple manual devices like
    the abacus aided people in doing calculations. Early in
    the Industrial Revolution, some mechanical devices were
    built to automate long tedious tasks, such as guiding
    patterns for looms. More sophisticated
    electrical machines did specialized analog calculations in the
    early 20th century. The first digital electronic calculating
    machines were developed during World War II. The speed,
    power, and versatility of computers has increased
    continuously and dramatically since then.
    Conventionally, a modern computer consists of at least
    one processing element, typically a central processing
    unit (CPU), and some form of memory. The processing
    element carries out arithmetic and logical operations, and a
    sequencing and control unit can change the order of
    operations in response to
    stored information. Peripheral devices include input devices
    (keyboards, mice, joystick, etc.), output devices (monitor
    screens, printers, etc.), and input/output devices that
    perform both functions (e.g., the 2000s-era touchscreen).
    Peripheral devices allow information to be retrieved from
    an external source and they enable the result of operations
    to be saved and retrieved.
