I think you are asking about ALGORITHM:\nan algorithm is a logical recipe for performing some operation by the computer.

Supercomputer? That term is a bit outdated.\nFollow this link and you should be able to find everything you need.

"Computer storage, computer memory, and often casually memory refer to computer components, devices and recording media that retain data for some interval of time. Computer storage provides one of the core functions of the modern computer, that of information retention."\n\nIt can come in many different forms - Hard Drives, CD-Roms, DVD-Roms, Flash Memory, and more.

An operating system (OS) is a computer program that manages the hardware and software resources of a computer. At the foundation of all system software, the OS performs basic tasks such as controlling and allocating memory, prioritizing system requests, controlling input and output devices, facilitating networking, and managing files. It also may provide a graphical user interface for higher level functions.\nclick here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system#Introduction

It's by opposition to hardware.\n\nHardware = all the physical bits of computers (screen, chips, sound cards, keyboard and so on)\n\nSoftware = all the programmes, ie coded instructions

A mac is a type of computer... what do you mean ?

There are many different names for categories of comptuers, common ones are PC for 'personal computer', and mainframe, which refers to a computer historically large and to which multiple different people use at the same time with multiple sets of keyboard/monitor pairs ('terminals').  See the article below for much more info than would be prudent for me to type.

This is a new one to me. I have no clue. You have it listed in software so does it have to do with computers?

The CPU is a microprocessor that controls and computes data input by the user. The CPU is located on the motherboard and will have a cooling unit mounted on top of it. The system unit is simply the whole computer, meaning the computer case with all components installed.

a word computer is taken from greek word compute,and compose.It compute the work and compose the task.

Computer software (or simply software) refers to one or more computer programs held in the storage of a computer for some purpose. Program software performs the function of the program it implements, either by directly providing instructions to the computer hardware or by serving as input to another piece of software. \n\nHardware is equipment such as fasteners, keys, locks, hinges, wire, chains, plumbing supplies, tools, utensils, cutlery and machine parts, especially when they are made of metal. In the United States, hardware has been traditionally sold in "hardware stores".

The word COMPUTER  has been derived from the word COMPUTE which means to Calculates, Analyses, Interprets or Compuites and etc etc .... Because the machine literaly calculates using numbers (generally 1 and 0) So, you can guess there is no difference between a CALCULATOR & a COMPUTER.  In the begining of the computer era, they were called "Computing Machines". \nSo, any machine which computes is called a COMPUTER.

This has to be really useful:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer\n\n(10 points 4 me? ;)  )

Hmmmm, I think you may have some confusion there.\nA CPU (Central Processing Unit or processor) is on your MB (motherboard) it is the main processor or brain of the PC.\nSome PC's also have video chips, sometimes called video processors inbedded as well.\nThe CPU makes the computer more than a box with a light on it.  It is the part that performs the mathematical functions of the PC.  Without it you would not be able to load Windows, a floppy or do anything on the PC.\nA video chip is a processor for the video or pictures you see on the monitor.\nHTH

That depends on what you mean by "computer".  The basis of any computing machine is the ability to do input, processing and output.  The core of what makes it a computer is to handle "whatif" questions and to respond differently based on the answer to those questions.  For example, to say, "If the dollar amount is less than X then do this, but if it's greater than X then do that.\n\nBy that definition, the first true computer would probably be Charles Babbage's "Difference Engine" built in the late 1800s.  An improved version, which he called the "Analytical Engine" actually accepted punch card programs, the first of which was written by Lord Byron's daughter, Ada Lovelace, making her the world's first computer programmer.\n\nThe first truly modern electronic computer was, arguably, the ENIAC developed for the US Army by the University of Pennsylvania.  I say "arguably" because it depends on which features you want to include in the definition of "modern electronic computer."  For example, the ENIAC had no stored memory and had to be rewired for each program.\n\nHope this helps.

A computer is an information-processing machine that works by converting all kinds of information into binary numbers (ones and zeros) and then using simple mathematics to make decisions about, or to rearrange, those numbers. There are two things essential to understanding the basics of how a computer works. One is that a computer treats any type of information (not only numbers but also letters, words, dates, and so on) as if it consisted simply of binary ones and zeros. For example, a computer can translate the letter “A” typed into its keyboard into a string of ones and zeros, such as 1000001. One reason to do this is that once in binary form, the information can be stored and moved about more easily.
