      Computer follows a set of instructions (also known as a programme) that we teach it what to do.
      The computer is divided into major components: a processor to run the instructions, a memory to store data, input and output devices (such as a mouse, keyboard, monitor).

      A mathematician called Alan Turing, invented the math principles behind computers. Then, electronic and electrical engineers used Alan’s math equations and built the first computer using electrical and electronic components around 70 years ago.
