Computers are hugely complicated, but they must satisfy a few criteria:

1. They must know how to store data

2. They must know how to access and display this data on some sort of output device (usually a screen)

3. They must hold user progammable functions (ie they have to process the notes in the course you want them to)

4. They must have an input device to entertain 3. (A Keyboard)



A true 'Turing Machine' can store an infinite amount of data so no modern computer is a 'real computer' (by the definition of Alan Turing- one of the father of computing) but an infinit amount of data is only silly isnt it?
Binary system. Core of reality.
You see, near are these tubes...

The above answer sums it up, I just arranged to add somewhat humor. =]
