Computer is a group of electronic
devices used to process the data.
characteristics of a computer are:
1. Speed 4. Accuracy
2. Reliability 5. Automation
3. Memory capacity 6.
Functionality
7. Tirelessness
1.Speed: computer process the data at
an unimaginable speed. The speed of
the computer ranges up to Nano
seconds.
2. Reliability: The next important
characteristic of a computer is its
reliability. we can always rely on the
information given by a computer.
3. Memory capacity: The memory
capacity of a computer is measured in
in bits and bytes. Large amount of the
data can be stored in computer and
4. Accuracy: Accuracy of the
computer is very high it performs
calculation with greater accuracy
in less time.
5. Automation: a computer allows
automation for any process designed
in the from of a program. A program
can be executed any number of times
to repeat the process.
6. functionality: computer can performs
many kinds
of jobs. They not process the data but
also can be
Used for plying music, movies, and
printing jobs.
It finds its applications in all most all the
fields.
7. Tirelessness: A computer never gate
tired.
