HISTORY OF COMPUTER MADE BY CHARLSBABBAGE :MADE IN University of Pennsylvania COMPUTER A computer is a machine that can be programmed to carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations automatically. Modern digital electronic computers can perform generic sets of operations known as programs. These programs enable computers to perform a wide range of tasks.
