Introduction to Computer

A computer is a set of tools that helps you perform information-related tasks. So your computer is a set of tools that can help you surf the Web, maintain an addresss book, prepare a report for class, keep a checkbook, create slides for a presentaion, and even play video games.

A technology developed by Microsoft for sharing information among different applications. ActiveX is an outgrowth of two other Microsoft technologies called OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) and COM (Component Object Model).

A computer might be described with deceptive simplicity as “an apparatus that performs routine calculations automatically.” Such a definition would owe its deceptiveness to a naive and narrow view of calculation as a strictly mathematical process. In fact, calculation underlies many activities that are not normally thought of as mathematical.
