A television set has input,processing,and output. Could it be considered to be a computer?

Most televisions today can manipulate a digital signal, and thus have some sort of microprocessor or DSP in them, making them computers in the more general sense.  In the next several years, in fact, all television transmission is being forced digital, so all TVs will have to contain some digital processing in order to watch network television even.\n\nOther items that contain microprocessors and thus could be called a computer:  Microwave, alarm clock, CD/DVD player, etc.  Any device that does any sort of processing can be considered a computer.  It doesn't even have to be electronic.

mister is correct. everything from your electric, phone, cable, water, car, traffic lights, banks, ATM's. TV's VCR's TIVO even your watch if you have a digital. Everything is a form of computer or controled by one.

A system of anything is a set of things that work together. A computer hardware system would be: a processor unit, connected to a monitor (screen) or more, plus printers, storage devices (disks), modems, and so on. So, I could ask: Is the system up, which means is the computer hardware system working. A system may also mean a software (program) system, a program that runs on the hardware system. So, a word processor (like Word) is an application system (actually an application system is a bigger system, so maybe MS Office is a system) that runs on the hardware system. So, I could ask: Is the system up? which means is the software running.

A computer is a device or machine for making calculations or controlling operations that are expressible in numerical or logical terms. Computers are made from components that perform simple well-defined functions. The complex interactions of these components endow computers with the ability to process information. If correctly configured (usually by programming) a computer can be made to represent some aspect of a problem or part of a system. ...

The primary computer equipment. Housed in a desktop or floor-standing cabinet, it contains such components as the motherboard, CPU, RAM and ROM chips, hard and floppy disks and several input/output ports.

if it has the inpuit, then it should have the neccessary softwares for that. a usually laptop have s-video out, until you have a TV-turner or something

Monitor or screen if it's a laptop.\nSpeakers.\nPrinter.\n\nLots of other devices - but strangely none that are only output and not input too.

input devices: keyboard, mouse, scanner, camera, microphone, etc...\n\noutput: monitor, speakers, printer, etc.....\n\n\ni guess this is what you are asking?

Paramount, everything the computer does is math.\n\nUsing the 0 & 1 to make up all known numbers and characters and to use logical math pathways to calculate instructions in the CPU, the very basis of a computer works in math.

1 An electronic device for the storage and processing of information.\n\n2 a programmable machine that inputs, processes and outputs data\n\n3 an electronic device that stores, retrieves, and processes data, and can be programmed with instructions. A computer is composed of hardware and software, and can exist in a variety of sizes and configurations\n\n4 Having the characteristics of simulating computer-generated output, such as printout, ocr, and illuminated displays. :OCR - Optical character recognition designs which are machine-readable or look similar to those designs. Typeface examples include: Amelia, Data 70, OCR-A, OCR-B, Orbit B. :Digital - Comprised of segmented strokes simulating the appearance of liquid crystal or fluorescent gas tube displays. Typeface examples include Digital and LCD.\n\n5 Any device capable of processing information to produce a desired result. No matter how large or small they are, computers typically perform their work in three well-defined steps: (1) accepting input, (2) processing the input according to predefined rules (programs), and (3) producing output.\n\n6 A computer is a device or machine for making calculations or controlling operations that are expressible in numerical or logical terms.

If the TV has an S-video cable connector, connect an S-video cable from the TV to the computers TV-out S-video connector.\nIf the TV has only a composite video cable connector, plug a composite TV-out adapter cable into the TV-out S-video connector on the computer. Connect the other end of the cable to the TV's composite video connector.\n\nDon't connect it to the antenna input of the TV !!!!

The computer is what each user CHOOSES it to be.  If you think or choose for it to be just porn, games and chat-rooms, that's exactly what it will be.  If it's a resource for information, a tool to express your imagination, or a means of communication to the outside world....well, that's your prerogative,too.
