Talk:Computer (disambiguation)

Definition of "computer"

I think the word computer as used here is unduly associated with the word "program". A device does need a program to be a computer. A program is a list of instructions or steps - yes, computers have to change inputs into outputs in a meaningful way, but that specific method of transforming methods can be inherent to the computer itself, like individual neurons or AND gates, both of which can be reasonably considered as rudimentary computers. I vouch for changing the definition from "A computer is a program machine that receives input, stores and manipulates data, and provides output in a useful format." to "A computer is a machine that receives input and manipulates it into a meaningful or useful output. It may also store data, and it may be programmable so that it can manipulate inputs or data in multiple ways." rablanken (talk) 01:54, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
