2. 2 What is a computer? Not a rhetorical question! “A device that computes, especially a programmable electronic machine that performs high-speed mathematical or logical operations or that assembles, stores, correlates, or otherwise processes information” –From American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 4 th Edition By definition, a (properly functioning) computer will always produce the SAME output given the same input

3. 3 The first computers Scales – computed relative weight of two items –Computed if the first item’s weight was less than, equal to, or greater than the second item’s weight Abacus – performed mathematical computations –Primarily thought of as Chinese, but also Japanese, Mayan, Russian, and Roman versions –Can do square roots and cube roots
