Advantage of Computer

Advantages of Computers

High Speed

·         Computer is a very fast device.

·         It is capable of performing calculation of very large amount of data.

·         The computer has units of speed in microsecond, nanosecond, and even the picosecond.

·         It can perform millions of calculations in a few seconds as compared to man who will spend many months to perform 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 amount 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 repeated 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 the 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

·         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 Paper Work and Cost

·         The use of computers for data processing in an organization leads to reduction in paper work and results in speeding up the process.

·         As data in electronic files can be retrieved as and when required, the problem of maintenance of 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 transaction.
