What are Devices (and a computer)?

from Learn About Technology Hosted by Bob Cohen

A device is a computer that simply isn't a personal computer. It includes a CPU, memory, and a way for a person to use the device. A device can do many, if not all, of the things a personal computer can do because it is a computer by any other name. It's called a device because it just doesn't have the traditional case, monitor, keyboard, and mouse we often associate with a personal computer. In a way, devices are to computers what breeds are to dogs. For the text article visit this link: https://www.bobology.com/public/What-Are-Devices.cfm
