- A computer is
a computing device where the
computing machinary is
controlled by
a series of

- Example:
- With one series of
instructions, the
computer can
compute
the trajectory of
a lunar mission
- With another series of instructions, the computer can compute the taxes of for a business person
- With one series of
instructions, the
computer can
compute
the trajectory of
a lunar mission
- I depicted the computer

- In reality, the computer
is an electronic device
- To imagine how the electronical computer
works, you need to:
- imagine that the roll of paper (containing the instructions) not only move forward but can also jump to an arbitrary position !!!
