CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPUTERS The important characteristics of a computer are as follows. Speed Computers can perform millions of operations in a single second. This means that a computer can process the data in blink of an eye which otherwise may take multiple days to complete. The speed of the computer is usually given in nano second and pico second, where 1 nano second = 1 x 10 second and 1 pico second = 1 x 1012 second Accuracy Computers are a reliable electronic device. It never makes mistakes. It always gives accurate results provided that correct data and set of instructions are input to it. So in the advent of an error, only the user who hasfed the incorrect data/program is responsible. If the input data is wrong, then the output will also be erroneous. In computer terminology, it is known as garbage-in garbage out (GIGO). Automatic Besides being very fast and accurate, computers are automatic devices that can perform without any user intervention. The user just needs to assi...
