Q. Where did the word computer come from?
A. Latin
According to the Barnhart Concise Dictionary of Etymology, computer came into use in English in 1646 as a word for a "person who computes" and then by 1897 as a "mechanical calculating machine." The word referred to an electronic machine by 1946, perhaps as early as 1941. It is formed from the word compute, which was borrowed in 1631 from the French computer, which was a learned borrowing from Latin computare, meaning "to count, sum up."

Because of this complex calculator with a nice colour screen, we now have the email, websites, video conferencing, file sharing, wireless networks, information architects, userbility experts, romance, pornography, fraud, virtual shopping places, instant messaging, music, CGI movies, and latest breaking news.

On another note some French dudes came up with this anime. Soo good. And see this if you need some laughs.
