The following are some of the important Characteristic of a Computer:
1.Speed
2.Accuracy
3.Storage capacity
4.Reliability
5.Variability
6.Cost benefits
7.Automatic.
1.Speed:
A Computer is a very fast device . The amount of work that a human being can do in an entire day can be performed by a computer in few seconds .The speed of the computer is measured in micro seconds and Nano seconds (10 -9) and Pico seconds (10 -12) . A powerful computer is capable of performing several billion athematic observations per second .
2.Accuracy:
A computer is a very accurate device the accuracy of a computer is very high computer is error free as computer is high enough to avoid any errors
3.Storage capacity:
The basic properties of the Pre computers Era was the storage of the data which requires large amount of papers storage papers .The computer has solved this problem by providing space for storing large volume of data in small storage which has the capacity to store huge amount of data.
4.Reliability:
The output generated by the computer is very reliable to the extent that the input is reliable.
5.Versatility:
The computer performs three basic operations:
1. It accepts information from the user
2. It performs basic arithmetic and logical operations on the data as desired
3.It generates the desired output in the desired form.
6.Cost benefits:
Various benefits like performing at a high speed ,accurate calculations, large data storage supporting decision making and repeated performance of the same task.
7.Automatic:
Computer is a device which is more than a calculator, once the instructions given to the system it works automatically without any intervention until completion of a program or until it means to the terminating of the job.
8. Weakness of computers:
1.No thinking and no decision making power.
2. No IQ.
