Today, it is very difficult to go anywhere without hearing about computers. Although the electronic has not existed even 100 years, the word is fairly old. The first recorded use of 'computer' in reference to a person who computers was in 1613. The word is known to have been used to refer to a machine since 1869. 'Computer' was used to denote the electronic device first in 1946; before then it was called a "Turing-Machine".
