What is a Computer?

A computer is

        - a binary machine

                it can only tell the difference between a one (1 - "on", "true") and a zero (0 - "off", "false")

OR

        - "an adding machine that 'knows' what to do next"

               it does all of its "arithmetic" (subtraction, multiplication, division, etc.) by addition

How does the computer 'know' what to do next?
