FunctionThe Macintosh SE personal computer is a re-programmable, electric, digital, stored-program personal desktop computer which is usually used to perform repetitive computations (as opposed to following a single long list of instructions). As such, its function is extremely variable and flexible. The specific use of this machine is unknown.

Computer monitors provide a visual output interface by which users can monitor various computer processes, results, and retrieve information.
The mouse and keyboard are the manual input devices through which users communicate with a computer. Keyboards are for inputting symbolic information (commonly for word processing and programming purposes). They are equipped with several buttons (modeled after typewriter keys) that communicate electronically with the central processing unit of the computer. Mice are central to the WIMP interface infrastructure of most personal computers (windows, icons, (dropdown) menu, pointing device). They translate the two-dimensional motion of a user's hand onto the computer monitor. By clicking on icons and menus users are able to control many of the computer operations.
