computer

A computer(computer) The computer that the calculation start back works to the calculation end without hands in a computer, a narrow sense in は, a wide sense. It points at Turing machine and an equivalent thing theoretically. It points at a personal computer (a PC) routinely and tends to call it "a computer".
In addition, what was transcribed into "a computer" was usual with a newspaper, a magazine, the television and announced that I unified soft largest Microsoft Corporation for this notation. The name on the Japanese law "a computer" (do not appear, and Kei comes, and abbreviate it)： I am considered to be computer, computation). "An electronic brain" I am called by the popular name called cyber) (by what is caught as a brain of the robots as analogy of the human brain again). But the thing which is not electronic to of the history or a computer studying extremely partly of the computer has an electronic brain / the computer conceptually. In addition, it was the name that it called it with "the electronic calculation organization" in Japan from the times when the production of computers of Showa 30's was performed, and was used until Showa about the first half of 40's. In addition, it is written in the bid notification that is an official document, the regulations of government offices in this way even if I greet the 21st century.
