machine

A machine (I come worth, English:) The artificial tool that Machine) does activity in predominance and the concept that developed from there.
The machine can be called an instrument, an appliance and laying upon machinery (I work).

A machine is an artificial tool with the following property.

After the Meiji era, I made words called the machine as words corresponding to machine, but call it a mechanism before it, and the trace is recognized for the words such as "mechanism dolls".
There is indication that the etymology of the mechanism came from the (a mechanism) Shinto shrine of Yasugi-shi, Shimane.

In late years, by information processing technology (IT) and electronic (electronics) development, the concept of the machine changes.
For example, there is the case that a concept is expanded to the tool that only an electronic element is constituted only by only as for the chemical element or a creature element to call a computer "a machine doing information processing".

When I point at a physical componentry and the aggregate of the physical componentry of merely system, I tend a word of the hardware to be used.
