Computer



A computer is a machine that manipulates data according to a set of instructions.

Background
Computer terminals with video screens were commonly utilized before the Great War. Computers were utilized as early as the 1960s, and remnants of them, working or for parts, are commonly found after the war.

In addition, radios could interface with some machines, so long as they did not use high-frequency bands utilized only by robots. 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. 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. Touchscreens were also utilized as a part of a computer's interface.
