Read the text and discuss the types of computers. Types of computers
The broadest categories of computers are special purpose and general purpose.
Special-purpose computers are dedicated to only one function: controlling the machines in which they are embedded. They have been given a permanent set of instructions. In effect, they have been preprogrammed to perform their specific purpose.
For example, tiny, hidden special-purpose computers control traffic signals, and inject fuel into your car's engine as you drive. Not all special-purpose computers are small. The navigational computers aboard the space shuttle, the computers found in sophisticated military aircraft, and those found in medical diagnostic equipment are typical examples of medium- to large-scale special-purpose computers.
General-purpose computers differ from their special-purpose cousins by being programmable; that is, their operation can be changed by altering the instructions or programs they are given. They can be adapted to many situations if given appropriate programs.
Some general-purpose computers, known as personal computers, are designed for use by individuals, such as students, office workers, and executives. Some are even small enough to carry around in your pocket or purse. A close cousin of the personal computer is called a workstation. Although it resembles a personal computer in appearance, it is used by scientists and engineers for technical applications that require more computational power. Much larger and far more expensive computers, called mainframes, are designed to process large amounts of data and to be shared by many different people in businesses, government agencies, and scientific and educational institutions. The fastest computers made are called supercomputers. They are used for weather prediction, computer animation, and scientific research. Their performance far outpaces that of even the largest and most powerful mainframe computers.
