Characteristics of computer commonly known as speed accuracy and reliability storage, capacity ability to operate automatically, diligence and versatility.
- Speed:
The speed of processing of computers are hour in milliseconds, microseconds, nanoseconds picoseconds, KIPS, MIPS. Computers provide quick services according to their speeds as expected in banks, grocery, stores, stock exchange etc.
| TIME UNITS TO MEASURE SPEED OF COMPUTER | |
| MILLISECOND [1ms] | A THOUSAND OF A SECOND |
| MICRO SECOND [1ms] | A THOUSAND MILLIONTH OF A SECOND |
| NANO SECOND [1ns] | A THOUSANDTH MILLIONTH OF A SECOND |
| PICO SECOND [1ps] | A THOUSAND OF A SECOND |
| KIPS | KILO INSTRUCTION PER SECOND |
| MIPS | MILLION INSTRUCTION PER SECOND |
- Accuracy and reliability:
As we all know computers are quite accurate and extremely reliable. but they are the only machines that do not makes error by their own. Errors are made by humans while inputting the data into computer.
- Storage capacity:
Now a days computer can store a huge amount of data. It can be located and retrieved very quickly. At the starting time or we can say that first second generations computer are not able to store a huge amount of data. which is possible in now a day due to various types of devices and the increased memory of hard disc help us to store a huge amount of data on the computer which is not early possible.
- Automation:
When the need of the operator is not required the process initiated or we can say that the process is able to be functioning automatically it might be generating tickets with a single input or it might be providing information to the user as per the requirement. Automation is extremely helpful to done variety of tasks easily by using limited resources.
- Diligence:
As we all know computers can work for or continuously more than hours as per your needs. De do not suffer from physical and mental fatigue and lack of concentration and laziness.
- Versatility:
If we see the starting of computer generations computer. They have limited use but nowadays the applicability of computers comes to so many areas such as commerce, scientific applications, education rai
