Számítógép

Számítógép is the Hungarian word for computer. A computer is an electronic device that can process data and perform a variety of tasks according to a set of instructions. These instructions are known as programs or software. Computers are composed of hardware, which includes physical components like the central processing unit (CPU), memory (RAM), storage devices (hard drives, SSDs), and input/output devices (keyboards, monitors), and software, which are the programs that tell the hardware what to do.

The fundamental operation of a computer involves receiving input, processing it, storing it, and producing output. Input can come from various sources such as keyboards, mice, microphones, or sensors. The CPU, the brain of the computer, performs calculations and executes instructions. Memory is used for temporary storage of data and instructions that the CPU is currently using. Storage devices provide long-term storage for files and programs. Output is delivered through devices like screens, printers, or speakers.

Computers come in many forms, from large mainframe systems and desktop personal computers to laptops, tablets, and smartphones. They are used in virtually every aspect of modern life, including communication, education, entertainment, scientific research, business, and automation. The development of computers has revolutionized industries and dramatically changed how people work, learn, and interact with the world.
