Abstract

[A computer is an electronic device that performs calculations and operations based on precise instructions. One thinks of the computer as a more or less bulky device with keyboard and video attached, but in reality any device capable of performing pre-established operations in an automatic way can be called a computer. From the seventeenth century up to some years after the end of World War II the term “computer” was used to designate humans who compute, i.e., people performing mathematical calculations.]
