COMPUTERS IN HIDING
Large computers:
e.g.: mega systems which perform tasks at the back
end.
Small computers:
e.g.: small automated machine or networks which
work at the back end facilitates the user.
Embedded computers:
e.g.: a computer on a chip integrates all components
of a computer or electronics system on to a single
chip.
