What is a Computer

For this project, Faith, Ginger, and I made a poster board about what is and isn't a computer. On the first try to decide what was and wasn't a computer we went with the rule of if it had a screen, buttons, you could code it and it was advanced and modern, then it was a computer. After watching a video of "What is a Computer" we realized for something to be a computer it as to have Input, Processing, Storage, and Output. The hardest items for us to place were the vacuum and the radio. We decided to put them in not a computer because they didn't go under the list we thought they should. After watching the video we decided that a hard drive was not a computer, a human was a computer, and that headphones were not. I enjoyed this project because it made me understand more about a computer. It clarified the four main parts of a computer and that not all screens are computers.
