Ellie is using a computer. Is the computer alive? What can we say about the computer?

Can you think of some examples of living things? You are alive, and so are animals. You can grow, eat, sleep and move about. Plants are living things too. They can grow but don't move or sleep. But what about a television? Is it alive? Is it an animal? It makes plenty of noise. But televisions don’t need food. Not everything that talks to you is alive.
