Basic Computer’s Features and its Use.
In
other words, “A device which processes the
data is known as a Computer”. But in the modern age, “A device which
processes data at tremendous speed with accuracy along with the features and
gives right information is known as Computer”
Why do We Prefer the Computer?

1. Full Form of Computer & Laptop:
Computer Stands for “Common Operating
Machine Purposely Used for Technological and Educational Research”
LAPTOP stands for “Lightweight
Analytical Platform with Total Optimized
Power”
2.1.
Automatic:
An automatic
machine works by itself without human intervention. Computers are automatic
machines because they start on a job, they carry out the job (normally
without human assistance) until it is finished.

2.2.
Speed:
A
computer is a high-speed device. It can perform in a few seconds, which is the amount of
work that a human being can do in an entire year.
A computer
can do in a few minutes what would take a man his entire lifetime. While
talking about the speed of a computer we do not talk in terms of seconds or even
milliseconds (103 ) but in terms of microseconds (106 ), nanoseconds
(109 ), and even picoseconds ( 1012). A powerful computer is capable of
performing several billion (109 ) simple arithmetic operations per second.
2.3.
Accuracy:
Computers
are very accurate. The accuracy of a computer is consistently high and the
degree of its accuracy depends upon its design. A computer performs even
calculations with the same accuracy. However, errors can occur in a computer.
These errors are mainly due to human rather than technological weaknesses. We
often refer to computer errors caused due to incorrect input data or unreliable
programs as garbage-in-garbage-out (GIGO).
2.4.
Diligence:
Unlike
human beings, a computer is free from dullness, tiredness, and lack of concentration.
It can continuously work for hours without creating any errors and without
grumbling. Hence, computers score over human beings in doing the routine types
of jobs that require great accuracy. If ten million calculations have to be
performed.
2.5.
Versatility:
Versatility
is one of the most wonderful things about a computer. It can do different work
at the same time or assigned by the user. One moment it is preparing the
results of an examination, the next moment it is busy preparing electricity
bills, and in between, it can help the user.
In brief, a computer is capable of performing almost any task, if the task can be reduced to a finite series of logical steps.
2.6.
Power of Remembering:
As a human
being acquires new knowledge, his/her brain subconsciously selects what it
feels to be important and worth retaining in memory. The brain relegates
unimportant details to the back of the mind or just forgets them.
This is not
the case with computers. A computer can store and recall any amount of information
because of its secondary storage (a type of detachable memory) capability. It
can retain a piece of information as long as a user desires and the user can
recall the information whenever required. Even after several years, a user can
recall exactly the same information that he/she had stored in the computer
several years ago.

7. No I Q:
A computer
cannot make its own decisions nor does it suggest the user do this this way. It
is a dull and human-dependent device.
2.
8. No Feelings:
A computer
is an emotionless device. Based on our feelings, tastes, knowledge, and
experience we often make certain judgments in our day-to-day lives, whereas
computers cannot make such judgments own. They make judgments based on
the instructions given to them in the form of programs(Artificial Intelligence)
that are written by human beings.

Limitations of Computers
The
computer is not a human, so there are some limitations compared to human
beings. It actually does which has to be done. Despite its various features, a
computer does have the following limitations: No self-intelligence and No
learning power. Today, a computer can do work that is impossible for man.
Computers are used to do risky and dangerous work where sharpness actually is
needed.
Computers
are emotionless. They do not have emotions like dislike feelings. They are
simply machines that work as per the instructions given to them.

Fundamental Uses of Computers
With
technology continuously evolving and intertwining into everyday life, people
are using computers for more and more simple tasks. This is possible thanks in
no small part to the continued efforts of computer manufacturers as well as
software designers to simplify computing so that anyone can sit down, power on
the machine, and jump right in.
4.1
Education:
A computer is used for educational purposes. After getting the knowledge of
using computer we can use it as per our desire.
4.2
Communication:
Thanks to
computers and the Internet, the world has gotten much smaller in recent years.
Many people use their computers to keep in touch with friends and family using
instant messenger programs as well as email. A growing communication tool is
social networking, with sites like Facebook and Twitter becoming incredibly popular.
4.3
Games:
PCs have
long served as recreational devices with hundreds of games available each year.
A fully equipped gaming PC costs ioverINR 75,000 in many cases. For all the
top-tier AAA titles, there are other games that users can find both
pre-installed on PCs as well as online.
4.4
Entertainment:
There are
uncountable entertainment sources available on the Internet. Like online
movies, TV serials, WWE fights, Hollywood/Bollywood songs, Ghazals, and
many more.
4.5
Account maintaining Work:
Almost
every working environment uses computers in one capacity or another. Office
buildings use computers to keep track of everything from pay wages to hours
logged, retail stores use computers as cash registers, and industries such as
construction and architecture use computers to help design buildings.
There are
various uses for computers, like War & Peace, Oceanology, Outer Space,
Atomic Energy, Industries, Banking, Police Department, Security Department,
Cash Counting,, and many more.
