Your oven and fridge (probably) has a computer within them, but they're not computers themselves.
- nkkollaw 8y agoAccording to that definition, yes. You have programs, you have a UI to control them, they have a CPU and memory.
- zingmars 8y agoAnd "that definition" is the official dictionary definition and it works. There is no need to redefine it like you tried to.
- guhidalg 8y agoWhy not? They have buttons and speakers (I/O), I can program a timer on them, and there’s a little processor in there somewhere. How is that different from an iPad?
- zingmars 8y agoThe computer that has those things is part of the oven, but it is not the oven itself.
