Full form of computer:
The computer means, Common Operating Machine Purposely Used for Technological and Educational Research. Means computer is a machine, which provides automatic processing of technology and research. Now we will describe two things. What is technology and what is educational research?
Technology is the commercial use of science. For example, science developed protocols for communications. You can say the OSI model. The communication network can be a telecom network or the internet. The protocols developed by the programming languages and runs on a computer with a operating system. Here programming languages, operating systems and computer hardware are the technologies.
