Computers, at least at the time of writting, are tools used to make calculations and use digital applications, as a web browser, or a text editor. Most computers made after the 1960s use to some degree Electricity, some don't use a lot, like calculators, some, like desktop computers use a lot, or laptop computers, which use a medium amount of power.

Computers come in all shape and forms, and different computers need/use different things to work. For example, desktop computers need digital storage, RAM memory, processing power via the CPU (Central Processing Unit), and an operational system to run/execute applications, and usually need computer peripherals, like keyboards to type, or mouses to use the mouse cursor.

Making a modern computer by hand is difficult, requiring advanced eletronics, hardware and software knowledge and skill, as the field is quite literally about how eletricity interacts with eletricity in high speeds, in a customizable manner as dictated by the user and running program
