The term "simple" and "compound" machine refer to physical devices that transform work. The computer is an electronic device whose main operation has no moving parts whatsoever. Any motion within input and storage devices is controlling electrical components, not mechanical ones.

A computer does not meet the physics definition of either a simple machine or a compound machine. Such machines are mechanical systems and a computer is an electronicsystem.

Yes, a computer is a compound because it is made up of multiple components, such as hardware, software, and peripherals, working together to perform tasks and operations.
