a better opening line might be edit

to better define a computer in a fundamental aspect.. one that seems ommitted from a ton of wiki articles which i intend to hopefully correct.

It often seems to escape people when they are put on the spot especially.. What is a computer? Here's how i might answer that:

A computer network is a series and parallel operations that maintain constant interconnected telecommunication services (called protocols) which operate over radio licensing agreements and contracts.. radio is also known as electromagnetic radiation in the literal and actual root meanings of those words.

The opening sentence is supposed to be simple, see MOS:LEADSENTENCE. It should not get bogged down in details or use excessive technical terms. MrOllie (talk) 03:41, 25 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
And, while, in theory, I guess you could call any electromagnetic wave, even beyond gamma rays, "radio", in practice there's a particular frequency range that people think of as "radio", so calling Ethernet over copper or fibre, for example, "radio" is probably going to increase, rather than reduce, confusion. (And what are "radio licensing agreements and contracts"? Various national bodies that regulate the use of electromagnetic frequency ranges don't bother with light, for example, nor do I think they care much about Ethernet-over-copper other than avoidance of interference from radiation from the copper wire.)
