A computer is a machine that manipulates data according to a set of instructions.

Although mechanical examples of computers have existed through much of recorded human history, the first electronic computers were developed in the mid-20th century (1940–1945). These were the size of a large room, consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers (PCs). Modern computers based on integrated circuits are millions to billions of times more capable than the early machines, and occupy a fraction of the space. Simple computers are small enough to fit into a wristwatch, and can be powered by a watch battery. Personal computers in their various forms are icons of the Information Age and are what most people think of as "computers". The embedded computers found in many devices from MP3 players to fighter aircraft and from toys to industrial robots are however the most numerous.

The ability to store and execute lists of instructions called programs makes computers extremely versatile, distinguishing them from calculators. The Church–Turing thesis is a mathematical statement of this versatility: any computer with a certain minimum capability is, in principle, capable of performing the same tasks that any other computer can perform. Therefore computers ranging from a mobile phone to a supercomputer are all able to perform the same computational tasks, given enough time and storage capacity.

How to monitor a computer within my home network?
Q. My teenager has her own computer and I have mine. I would like to monitor what she is doing and who she is talking to while online. I do not have any sort of access to her computer, so I will need to monitor her from my own PC. I will also need to do this discreetly to avoid problems (parents you know what I mean). How can I do this? I know the basics about computer usage and internet and yes I do know how to install programs on my computer. Thanks for any help.

A. You have a few options: 1) Block certain websites like file-sharing, adult content, weapons, etc. using this free service from Basically you create a free account and select the types of websites to block, it also keeps a log of the sites visited. You make one quick adjustment with your wireless router or on your teenagers computer. You basically change the IP address for the DNS on either. OpenDNS will give you an IP address to plug in and tells you how to perform this. 2) You could install computer management software that allows an individual to monitor other computers on the network through watching other users. This is used a lot in education through programs like insight, synchroneyes, schoolvue, etc. There is a free one called… [cont.]

What is difference between a BS in Computer Information Systems and a BS in Computer Science?
Q. What is difference between a BS in Computer Information Systems and a BS in Computer Science? If I major in CIS, I will be able to easily minor in computer science. Would I be able to get the same jobs with these majors? Do you feel that these majors will become outdated quickly? Right now, I know I am majoring in Finance and minoring in Computer Science. I would pursue CS or CIS as a second major. Thanks in advance for your input.

A. BS in Computer Science is more computer intensive than BS in CIS. CIS is more business oriented. I don't know about the program in the school which you are attending or you plan to attend; but in the school that I went to, CIS students didn't need to take much programming classes nor did they have to take any computer hardware classes. While the Comp. Sci. students, which I was one of them, had to take many programming classes and a computer hardware class.

What are the differences between computer repair and computer science courses in a vocational highschool?
Q. I'm entering a vocational high school but the application provides little information about the courses offered. Can someone tell me what the difference between computer repair and computer science are? I want to learn more about languages like c++, java, etc. So which one would provide more of that? And if you can, please elaborate on what would generally be provided in each of the courses. I'm planning on becoming a computer programmer and/or graphics programmer, hopefully for video games. So which do you think would be better for this path? Thanks. ^^

A. hey i attended a vocational highschool. Computer repair deals with hardware issue and actual hardware repair. What you're interested in is computer science. My hs's cs program taught c++, html, asp and integrated web design. Basically in CS you work with learning how to program and applying that to specific areas like web programming, database programming, etc.
