	while any number of devices may use computer technology, such as how a car technically has a "computer" in it, for the puposes of this website, a computer is an electronic device that is not necessarily designed for just a small amount of tasks, but for any number of programmable tasks.		while any number of devices may use computer technology, such as how a car technically has a "computer" in it, for the puposes of this website, a computer is an electronic device that is not necessarily designed for just a small amount of tasks, but for any number of programmable tasks.

			for example, a cell phone would not be considered a computer, since it can only make phone calls, send SMS text messages, and do other phone-related tasks. but a smart phone might be considered a computer, because it can run any number of apps that can make use of the smart phone's hardware to do things the phone was not necessarily designed for.

			realistically speaking, a computer has all of the following parts:

			* mainboard (motherboard): connects all other parts to help them work together
			* processor (CPU): the "brain" of a computer
			* temporary memory (RAM): stores currently running processes until done
			* permanent storage(hard drive, etc.): keeps files needed for system startup, and personal use
			* input devices (keyboard or mouse): used to enter data and navigate through the various areas of the computer on-screen (Note: on smart phones, the touch screen would be considered a type of input device)
			* display (screen or monitor): some way to see what is happening so that you can react accordingly
