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

no- Personal Computer.  Sometimes it could mean that

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.

say a whole bunch of fancy made up words about computers, and then when she says, so what does that mean? say, your new computer is now officaly a peice of s*** and continue to exlpain that if you have cats , that they should not sleep in front of the computer fan. and actually check and make sure there is not a giant pile of dust in her floppy\n\nlol

It is a language people use to work a computer. Any particular operating system (Windows, MacIntosh) has commands or actions you take to get it to do certain things. To maximize or minimize the window you're looking at. To delete something or any of the many other actions you take. The action you take triggers electronic actions by the computer and makes what you want to do happen. It is an interface as another person said, between you and the computer. You learn this interface language and you can use the computer. Beneath the operating system you see and use, there are others layers - various kinds of programming that finally result in some very specific electronic impulse that causes the action you commanded. These other layers are languages computer programmers use to write programs, and others 'down' at the level of basic circuitry of the computer called 'machine languages.' Each one interfaces with the next. But the operating system you see and use is the interface between you and the computer.

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.

Its a sales Technique . They want to potrait their computer is so small that it can sit on one's lap and hence it is called as laptop. Previously we can see that they called the computers as desktop meaning that they can sit easily on the table unlike the olden days computers which occupied one whole room . Later they came out with note book computer meaning that the computers and as small as the size of a note book. This is all a sales zargon and to a certain extent meaningful and hence we should give credit for their names.

Notebook is a term used to to describe one company's laptops. It was a term coined by some PC manufacturer, possible HP or Dell, but it was soon adopted by other manufacturers.

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".

In information technology, hardware is the physical aspect of computers, telecommunications, and other devices. The term arose as a way to distinguish the "box" and the electronic circuitry and components of a computer from the program you put in it to make it do things. The program came to be known as the software. \nHardware implies permanence and invariability. Software or programming can easily be varied. You can put an entirely new program in the hardware and make it create an entirely new experience for the user. You can, however, change the modular configurations that most computers come with by adding new adapters or cards that extend the computer's capabilities. \n\nLike software, hardware is a collective term. Hardware includes not only the computer proper but also the cables, connectors, power supply units, and peripheral devices such as the keyboard, mouse, audio speakers, and printers. \n\nHardware is sometimes used as a term collectively describing the physical aspects of telephony and telecommunications network infrastructure.

A computer program is an algorithm used to imput some data and output a desired result. The program is written in a language (high level language or low level language). The language (high level or low lewel) is compiled (translated) in machine language (processor language)- finally a binary sequence of 0 and 1 interpreted and understand by the processor who is executing his own instructions (tasks).  Simple, no? ;)

Micro-computer is the name for the computer in front of your face. the term come from the early days of computer when a computer would take up most of a building. As they got smaller a room size computer was called a computer one that took up the space of a few filling cabinets was called a mini computer and the one you have in your homes, schools, and offices are called micro computers due to there small size compare to the first computers. So it will be a informational class to take.
