What is a PC?

A PC, or personal computer, is a computer that is designed for use by one person at a time.

Before the advent of the personal computer, computers were designed for companies that would attach terminals for multiple users to access. In this model, multiple users would be sharing the same resources of one large computer.

In the age of the personal computer these resources are separate and only accessible to one person, although elements such as storage can be boosted by access to cloud computing resources.
