                 Computers possess features, such as high speed, accuracy, diligence, versatility, and
                      large storage capacity which make them so useful.

                   Computers are classified on the basis of their size, cost, and processing power.

                   Computers are classified into Microcomputers, Minicomputers, Mainframe computers,
                      Supercomputers, Wearable computers, and Embedded computers.
                   Microcomputers can be used by only one person at a time.
                   A Minicomputer has more than one microprocessor and can handle around 200
                      users.

                   Mainframe computers use multiple processors, can run multiple operating systems,
                      and support thousands of users at the same time.
                   Supercomputers  are  the  most  powerful  computers,  having  very  large  storage
                      capacities and thousands of processors working together.
                   A Wearable computer is a small device that can be worn on the body and provides
                      required information to the user.

                   An Embedded computer is fixed inside a machine or device which performs a highly
                      specific function.
