                                    1. A piece of hardware that encapsulates some function but cant be

                                      clever device, or instrument (the word is cognate to
                                      ‘ingenuity’). This sense had not been completely eclipsed by
                                      the modern connotation of power-transducing machinery in Charles Babbages
                                      time, which explains why he named the stored-program computer that he
