Characteristics of computer
The important characteristics of a computer are following: 👇
1. Speed
The computer process data at very high speed. It is much
faster than human beings. A computer can perform billions of calculation in
seconds. Computer speed is measured in MAGA Hertz (MHz) or GEGA Hertz (GHz).
For example, the process of 745 multiply 751 can take minutes if it is
performed by human being. However, a computer can perform millions of calculations
within seconds
2. Reliability
The computer is very reliable. The electronic components of computer rarely break or fail. That is why it is very reliable because it’s all components are very good and they fail so rarely. One time purchased component of computer can be used for long time.
3. Accuracy
The accuracy means that the computer provides
result without any errors. computer can process large amount of data and
produce result accurately. The result can be wrong if the given data is not
correct. Suppose the average marks of a class is required. There is chance of
mistake if the task is performed by human being. However, a computer can
produce this result very quickly.
4.
STORAGE
Computer can store a large amount of data permanently.
People can use this data at any time. The user can store any type of data in
computer. The storage capacity of computer is increase rapidly. A computer can
store data in thousands of book easily.
5.
VERSITILITY
Computer is a versatile machine. It can perfume different
type of tasks. That is way it is use in every filled of life. Computer is used
in homes hospitals offices and banks etc. A user can listen music watch movies
dramas and he can use internet using computer.
6.
Consistency
Computer works in a consistent way. It does
not lose connection due to heavy work. It does dose not tired or board.
Computer does all jobs with equal attention.
7.
COMUNICATION
Most of computer today have the capability of
communication with other computers. We can connect two more computers by
communication device such as modem. These computers can share data and
information. The connected computers are called network. We can communicate
with other people is the world with network like internet.
8.
RECALLING
A computer can recall the stored data and
information as when required. The data store in the computer can use it for
later The computer can recall data in few second.
9.
Control
sequence
A computer works sickly according to given
instruction. It follows the same sequence of that is given to the computer.
10.
COST
OF REDUCTION
We can perform a difficult task in less time and loss cost. For example, we may have to hair many people to handle office. The same work can be done by one person with the help of computer. It reduces the cost.
