Visitor Question or Comment:

Computers are a closed system.

Response from ALEGSA.com.ar:

Of course not. A computer receives energy to function and information from the outside, which it then processes and results in an output: visual, auditory, paper information (in case you print something), etc.

Therefore a computer is an open system.
