Characteristics of Computer
- Speed: The computer helps in saving time. It performs several tasks and multiple calculations in a few bit of seconds that takes us hours to solve. We measure the speed of computers in terms of GigaHertz (Ghz) and MegaHertz (MHz).
- Accuracy: Works done by a computer have better accuracy than the work done by a human being. The errors occur in a computer by entering wrong data by a human being. A computer performs tasks quickly and accurately.
- Memory: A computer can store billions of data and these records are easily accessible with high accuracy. We measure computer storage in terms of Bytes, like KiloBytes (KB), Megabytes (MB), Gigabytes (GB), etc.
- Versatility: The simple meaning of Versatility is performing more than one task, and as everyone knows, Computers are capable of performing more than one task at a time, hence it is highly versatile.
- Automation: Today’s World is full of automation as we rapidly move towards Artificial Intelligence (AI). This feature of the computer replaces thousands of workers by performing tasks automatically.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Computer
Pre-Requisite: Basics of Computer
The computer is a programmed device with a group of instructions to perform specific tasks and generate results at a really high speed. A Computer is a machine that can solve difficult and different problems, process data, store & retrieve data and perform calculations faster and more accurately as compared to humans.
The literal meaning of a computer may be a device that will calculate. Its full form can be abbreviated as Commonly Operated Machine Particularly Used For Training, Education, and Research.
However, modern computers can do tons of quiet calculations. The computer can be defined as a machine that receives input stores it and then process the stored data as per the instructions given by the user of the computer and finally gives the output as required.
