computers work with logic. There are human interface computers, like your home computer and laptop, like playstations, mobile phones, even chips built into your fridge and car. Then there are business computers, that you encounter everytime you use a cash machine, book an airline ticket....

computers solve logical problems, and make calculations with logic.
everything except wash your car. the term computer is so wide open it just can't be nailed down to one category...a pencil is a computer in that it can be used to calculate and compute.....a phone is a computer as it can be used to manipulate information across several different platforms.

A personal computer can't do anything, at least not with out some sort of human input...so to answer your question, a computer cannot ''do'' anything...it can only calculate and produce results based on the input.....what it can be used for is a better question and in that case, it can be used for a variety of things from information retrieval to communications across several languages....but at its core its really just a really powerful calculator, it just reads and writes 1's and 0's and translates that information into a result.
