It can continuously work for hours without creating any error and without grumbling5) Versatility: Computer is capable of performing almost any task, if the task can be reduced to a finite series of logical steps6) Power of Remembering: Computer can store and recall any amount of information because of its secondary storage capability. Sinha & Priti SinhaSlide 6/17Chapter 1: Introduction to ComputersRef ) Diligence: Computer is free from monotony, tiredness, and lack of concentration. Computer errors caused due to incorrect input data or unreliable programs are often referred to as Garbage-In-Garbage-Out (GIGO)(Continued on next slide)Characteristics of ComputersCharacteristics of Computers02Computer Fundamentals: Pradeep K. Sinha & Priti SinhaSlide 5/17Chapter 1: Introduction to ComputersRef ) Automatic: Given a job, computer can work on it automatically without human interventions2) Speed: Computer can perform data processing jobs very fast, usually measured in microseconds (10-6), nanoseconds (10-9), and picoseconds (10-12)3) Accuracy: Accuracy of a computer is consistently high and the degree of its accuracy depends upon its design. Sinha & Priti SinhaSlide 3/17Chapter 1: Introduction to ComputersRef Page The word computer comes from the word compute, which means, to calculate Thereby, a computer is an electronic device that can perform arithmetic operations at high speed A computer is also called a data processor because it can store, process, and retrieve data whenever desiredComputerComputer01Computer Fundamentals: Pradeep K.
