A computer is a machine that can be instructed to carry out sequences of arithmetic

or logical operations automatically via computer programming. Modern computers have


the ability to follow generalized sets of operations, called programs. These
programs enable computers to perform an extremely wide range of tasks. A "complete"
computer including the hardware, the operating system (main software), and
peripheral equipment required and used for "full" operation can be referred to as a
computer system. This term may as well be used for a group of computers that are
connected and work together, in particular a computer network or computer cluster.

Computers are used as control systems for a 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-aided
design, and also general purpose devices like personal computers and mobile devices
such as smartphones. The Internet is run on computers and it connects hundreds of
millions of other computers and their users.
