Characteristics Of Computer

-

 Speed 

Speed is one of the major characteristics of the computer system. A computer works so fast that it can process any task and provide the output in fractions of seconds. A powerful computer can handle trillions of instructions per second which is really incredible. 

Accuracy 

Computers not only provide incredible speed, instead, they are also capable of consistently working with accuracy. The degree of accuracy in computers is very high; computers can perform calculations at almost 100% accuracy. Errors may occur in a computer system, but only because of wrong human input or inaccurate data.

Diligence

Unlike a human, the computer doesn’t get tired or lacks its concentration. Due to this characteristic, it overpowers human being in most of the regular tasks. It can work for hours without any fault. This means that if millions of calculations are to be done, a computer will perform every calculation and provide all the results with the same accuracy.

Versatility

Versatility is one of the most wonderful features of computers. This means that the computer has the ability to perform completely different kinds of works with the same accuracy and efficiency at the same time. It is not just a calculating machine anymore.

Storage Capacity

Computers can store vast amounts of data. Today's computers have increased storage capacity compared to earlier days. Besides, we also have the option to store data in secondary devices such as external drives, or floppies, etc. These secondary devices can be kept separate from the computer or attached to other computers.

  What is Internet? Internet is a global network that connects billions of computers across the world with each other and to the World Wide Web. It uses standard internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to connect billions of computer users worldwide. It is set up by using cables such as optical fibers and other wireless and networking technologies.  TCP/IP = Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol. It is believed that the internet was developed by  "Defense Advanced Projects Agency" (DARPA)  department of the United States. And, it was first connected in 1969. Network Vs Internet Network :  A computer network is a group of computers linked to each other that enables the computer to communicate with another computer and share their resources, data, and applications. The different between Network and Internet: BASIS FOR COMPARISON NETWORK INTERNET Basic Combination of two or more computer systems. Interconnection of several networks.

  What is Computer? The computer is an electronic device that takes input from the user and processes these data under the control of a set of instructions (called program) and gives the result (output) and saves future use. The word Computer is derived from the word Compute, which means calculation. Note:  Charles Babbage is the father of computer. Working process of Computer? Input - Process - Output Concept (IPO) The concept of generating output information from the input data is also referred to as input-process-output concept. Input - Accepts data Processing - Process data Output - Produces data Storage - Stores data Input (Data): Input is the raw information entered into a computer from the input devices. It is the collection of letters, numbers, images etc. Process : Process is the operation of data as per given instruction. It is totally internal process of the computer system. Output: Output is the processed data given by computer after data processing. Output is also...

The computer is an electronic device the word computer is derived from word compute which means calculation. Computer takes input from the user and processes these data under the control of a set of instructions (called program) and gives the result (output).  Computer Works in three steps : 1 -First it takes Input from the user.    2- Then process it. 3- Finally It gives output as a result.  Charles Babbage is the father of computer. About Charles Babbage   Charles Babbage , an English polymath, is often referred to as " the man who invented computers. " Between 1822 and 1871, he invented three computers, but none of them was ever built due to a lack of funding.  The Difference Engine , the first automatic computer, was designed and built by Charles Babbage in 1822. It has the ability to carry out various mathematical operations and deliver tangible copies of the outcomes. With the aid of Ada Lovelace, Babbage developed the Difference Engine. In addition t...
