Computers were initially a job title for individuals who were charged with finding the answers to long or complicated math problems. These were often employed by businesses for computing balance sheets. Today, the term "computer" is applied to anything that processes data. For example, the Onboard Diagnostic Computer in a car is tasked with monitoring numerous sensors in the car, and storing and reporting problems as they arise. The computer in a digital watch counts the electrical oscillation and reports that as a given time. Even something as simple as an abacus could be considered a computer in its most basic form.
