Characteristics Of Computers System || You Should Know

By
The characteristics of computers that have made them so powerful and universally useful are speed, accuracy, diligence, versatility, and storage capacity. Let us discuss them briefly. Speed: -  As you know the computer can work very fast. It takes only a few seconds for calculations that we take hours to complete. You will be surprised to know that a computer can perform millions (1,000,000) of instructions and even more per second. Therefore, we determine the speed of the computer in terms of a microsecond (10-6 part of a second) or nanosecond (10 to the power -9 part of a second). From this, you can imagine how fast your computer performs work.  Diligence:   A computer is free from tiredness, lack of concentration, fatigue, etc. It can work for hours without creating any errors. If millions of calculations are to be performed, a computer will perform every calculation with the same accuracy. Due to this capability, it overpowers human beings in the
