Computers everywhere
A computer is any machine that follows a program. Some have screens and keyboards; others are hidden inside everyday things, quietly following instructions — a microwave counting down or a traffic light changing colour.
Inputs, like a keyboard or microphone, put information in. Outputs, like a screen or speaker, give information out.
