Advantage of Computer

High Speed

• The computer is a very fast device
• It is capable of performing calculations on very large amounts of data.
• The computer has units of speed in microseconds, nanoseconds, and even picoseconds.
• It can perform millions of calculations in a few seconds as compared to a man who will spend many months performing the same task.

Accuracy

• In addition to being very fast, computers are very accurate.
• The calculations are 100% error-free
• Computers perform all jobs with 100% accuracy provided that the input is correct.

Storage Capability

• Memory is a very important characteristic of computers
• A computer has much more storage capacity than human beings.
• It can store large amounts of data.
• It can store any type of data such as images, videos, text, audio, etc.

Diligence

• Unlike human beings, a computer is free from monotony, tiredness, and lack of concentration.
• It can work continuously without any error and boredom.
• It can perform repetitive tasks with the same speed and accuracy.

Versatility

• A computer is a very versatile machine.
• A computer is very flexible in performing the jobs to be done.
• This machine can be used to solve problems related to various fields.
• At one instance, it may be solving a complex scientific problem, and the very next moment it may be playing a card game.

 Reliability

• A computer is a reliable machine.
• Modern electronic components have long lives.
• Computers are designed to make maintenance easy.

Automation

• A computer is an automatic machine.
• Automation is the ability to perform a given task automatically. Once the computer receives a program i.e., the program is stored in the computer memory, then the program and instruction can control the program execution without human interaction.

Reduction in PaperWork and Cost

• The use of computers for data processing in an organization leads to a reduction in paperwork and results in speeding up the process.
• As data in electronic files can be retrieved as and when required, the problem of maintaining of a large number of paper files gets reduced.
• Though the initial investment for installing a computer is high, it substantially reduces the cost of each of its transactions.
