Concept in Definition ABC

A computer, also referred to as computer, is an electronic machine that receives and processes data with the mission of transforming it into useful information. It is composed of a series of integrated circuits and many other related elements that are the that allow the execution of a variety of sequences or instruction routines that will be indicated by the user of the same.

The sequences will be previously systematized based on a wide range of practical applications through a process known asprogramming.

Then, to be able to use the computer it will be necessary and condition without equanom that it is programmed and have computer programs or software that will provide you with specific data to be able to process the data. When the information that was being sought is obtained from a computer, it may continue to be used internally or, failing that, be transferred to another computer or electronic component.

While technology has evolved by leaps and bounds since the appearance of the first computers in the 1940s, last century, especially in the last years where the evolutionary process was devastating, most computers still respect the

architecture known as Eckert-Mauchly posted by John Von Neumann and that was created by electronic engineers John Presper Eckert and by John William Mauchly.

The aforementioned architecture consists of four sections main of a computer: logical drive and arithmetic (ALU), the control unit, memory (a sequence of cells from storage with numbers in which each one is a unit of information known as bit) and the input and output devices. And all these sections are interconnected by cables that are called buses.

Among the most common peripherals and auxiliary devices that the user of a computer will use are: the monitor, the keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner, HDD and the speakers. Each with a specific function.
