Abstract

The purpose of a computer as an electronic device that can receive input, process data, and produce information output. Computers have become an integral part of various aspects of everyday life, from education to industry and health. The term "computer" comes from the Latin computare, which means to calculate, Various definitions from experts such as V.C.  Hamacher and Robert H. Blissmer emphasize the ability of computers to manipulate data automatically and efficiently. The history of computers began in the early 19th century with  the invention of the first device using punched cards by Joseph Marie Jacquard. Furthermore, 11
Charles Babbage designed the first programmable computer, followed by various developments until the emergence of modern digital computers. The generation of computers is divided into five, each with technological innovations, from vacuum tubes to integrated circuits that dominate computers today. Computers are also classified based on the data 
processed (analog, digital, and hybrid), size (micro, mini, mainframe, and supercomputer),  and their use (general purpose and special purpose). With the advancement of technology,  computers continue to adapt and innovate, meeting the increasingly complex needs of society.
