CHARACTERISTICS
OF COMPUTER
The
following are the important features of computer.
1. Speed: The computers are the fastest
calculating machines. They works at greater speed. More work can be done within
seconds with the help of computer. The processing speed of the computer is measured
generally following units. Computer speed is MIPS.
MIPS:-
Million
instruction per second. Some
instructions like
_3
Milli second – 10
_6
Micro second – 10
_9
Nano second – 10
_12
Pico second – 10
Storage: Computers can hold large amounts of
data and we can retrieve it whenever we want. We use primary storage devices
such as SSD and HDD Hard disk, secondary
storage devices as Floppy disk, Compact disk (cd), Zip disk and USB drives to
store data in the computer.
Accuracy:
The accuracy of computer is consistently high. Sometimes error may occur due to hardware,
software and human errors.
Versatility: Computer can perform any task. In some cases it is not versatile, but by
certain activities we can increase the ability of computer, then it appears
computers are highly genius.
Diligence:
Being a machine computer doesn’t suffer from human tidiness and lack of
concentration. It can work for hours without creating any error.
Power and Remembering:
Computer information can be
stored and recalled as long as you require it has a power and remembering the
data.
NO IQ
A computer cannot take its own
decision. It is the user to decide what he/she want to do and in what sequence.
Actually a computer is a dumb machine and it cannot do any work without
instruction from the user. It performs the instructions at tremendous speed and
with accuracy.
No Feeling
It does not have feelings or
emotion, taste, knowledge and experience. Thus it does not get tired even after
long hours of work.
