I would argue that it is only messy because we are looking at the wrong level of abstraction with an incorrect computational model. At the end of the day, if it has inputs and produces outputs, it is a computing device (i.e. a computer).
- __loam 3y agoSeems like an overly broad definition. A pizza oven has inputs and outputs but you would probably struggle to find someone willing to call it a computer.
- bossyTeacher 3y agoDoes it? A button is not equivalent to an input anymore than pulling down a level that initiates a process that culminates in the lighting of a candle.

- bossyTeacher 3y agoJust because you placed an object x inside an object y does not make y a computer -_- Computing is about data
- __loam 3y agoWe're using the definition you gave.
- bossyTeacher 3y agoI said input though not "anything"
