A computer is a machine that manipulates data according to a set of instructions.
Background[edit]
Computer terminals with video screens were utilized before the Great War.[1] Computers were utilized as early as the 1960s, and remnants of them, working or for parts, are commonly found after the war.[2][3][4]
In addition, radios could interface with some machines, so long as they did not use high-frequency bands utilized only by robots.[5] Robots could plug into terminals to learn information housed on them, likening the experience to reading a book with ten times the knowledge in a fraction of the time.[6] The Vault City central computer is capable of communication with voice commands and can reformat/update Pip-Boys via a slot designed for them. It also has the ability to produce cartoon animations with sound for its various computation events.[7] Touchscreens were also utilized as a part of a computer's interface.[8]
