Computer is an electronic device which stores data, processes it, and gives the result consistently, accurately at very high speed according to our instruction. The Word computer is derived from the word "Compute". It means perform or calculate. So a Powerful computer can handle 3 to 4 Million Instructions Per Second (MIPS). The main characteristics of computer is the following below.
1.Speed:
•computers are much faster to perform mathematical calculations than humán. The computer is capable of performing millions of tasks per second.
•It takes an hour or a day for a person to do a mathematicalcalculation or any work, to do the same calculation or work to a computer do in microseconds or nanoseconds. rer
2. Accuracy: A computer is very accurate. It does not make any kind of mistake in calculating. Sometimes we get some error but these are because of the mistake performed by us.
3. Diligence:
A person gets tired of doing some work in a few hours and a computer has the ability to do any work continuously for many hours, days, months.Even after the computer has worked for such on the there is no decrease in its ability to work and the accuracy of the result.
• The computer does work without any discrimination. A computer is free from monetary and tiredness.
4. Reliability: Reliability is a very big characteristics of computer. Today almost all the big industries or big e-Commerce companies like Amazon and Flipkart, and big search engine companies like - Google and Bing, all these companies are dependent of computers.
• The computer does all its work very honestly. Night or day, the computer continues its work without being tired. Today this is the reason why big e-commerce companies and industries blindly trust computers. Versatility:
5. Versatility: is the Characteristics of a computer. Its means is that the computer is capable of working in almost every field. Today computers are being used almost everywhere like schools, colleges, hospitals, offices, railway stations, hotels etc.
• A computer system is multitasking so that you can do twot asks very easily at the same time.
6. Storage Capacity: Computer systems have a very large capacity to store anyt ype of data.
• Computers have the ability to store all types of data such as data, pictures, files, programs, games, and sound for many years and later we can get any data in a few seconds at any time for taking that information and for future retrieval.
7. Multitasking: Multitasking is also a very special feature of computers. A user can do different types of tasks on the computer at the same time.
• Like we are using MS Word in computer as well as listening to songs and also getting printouts.
We can do a lot of work at the same time.
8. No Feeling:
In a computer puters, like humans, there is no feeling and emotion, nor does the computer have any knowledge and experience, because a computer is a machine which works continuously on the instruction of humans without any selfishness and without tiredness.
9. Power of Remembering:
• Power of remembering is also very special Characteristics of the computer. 100 You can store many types of information and data on your
• computer in very large quantities. Whenever you need this data in future, you can get that data in a few seconds.
10. No IQ: Sh A computer is a dumb machine, without a user, a computer is useless machine.
• Until a user does not give any instruction, it cannot do any work and only after completing the instruction, he completes that work very fast.
• A computer system is completely dependent on us.
