Any Eight characters of the computer are as follows:
- Speed: As we know that computers can work very fast. It takes only a few seconds for calculations that we take hours to complete. We will be surprised to know that a computer can perform millions of instructions and even more per second. Therefore we determine the speed of the computer. in terms of a microsecond, a nanosecond. from this can imagine how fast our computer performs works. A computer works with much higher speed and accuracy compared to humans while performing mathematical calculations. Computers can process millions (1,000,000) of instructions per second.
- Accuracy: The degree of accuracy of the computer is very high and every calculation is performed with the same accuracy. The accuracy level is determined on the basis of the design of the computer. The errors in a computer are due to humans and inaccurate data. Computers perform calculations with 100% accuracy. Errors may occur due to data inconsistency or inaccuracy.
- Diligence: A computer is free from tiredness, lack of concentration, fatigue, etc. It can work for hours without creating any errors. it performs repetitive tasks without being bored and never gets tired. If one work is repeated many times human being suffers from Physical and mental tired Dess, but the computer can perform the repeated task with the same speed and accuracy. Because of this reason, human beings are getting a high level of benefit.
- Versatility: It means the capacity to perform a completely different type of work. We may a computer to prepare payroll slips. The next moment is for inventory management or we may use prepare electric bills. Versatility refers to the capability of a computer to perform different kinds of work with the same accuracy and efficiency.
- Storage capacity: computer has the power of storing any amount of information or data. Any information can be stored and recalled as long as you required it for any number of years. It depends entirely upon you how much data you want to store on a computer and when to lose or receive this data.
- No Intelligence: A computer is a dumb machine and it cannot do any work without instructions from the user. it performs the instructions at tremendous speed and with accuracy. it is you to decide what you want to do and in what sequence So a computer cannot take its own decision as you can.
- No feeling: It doesn’t have feelings or emotional taste, knowledge, or experience. Thus it doesn’t get tired even after long hours of work. It doesn’t distinguish between users.
- Storage: The computer has an in-built memory where it can store a large amount of data. you can also store data in secondary Storage devices such as floppies, which can be kept outside your computer and can be carried to another computer. A computer has built-in memory called primary memory where it stores data. Secondary storage is removable devices such as CDs, pen drives, etc., which are also used to store data
