👉 Computing, or information processing, refers to the activities and technologies used to process data, solve problems, and create new knowledge through the manipulation of information. At its core, computing involves the use of computers or other digital devices to execute instructions, perform calculations, and store, retrieve, and manipulate data. This encompasses a broad range of activities, from simple arithmetic operations to complex simulations and artificial intelligence tasks, all facilitated by hardware components like processors, memory, and input/output devices, along with software applications that define how these components interact to achieve specific computational goals.
