Important Characteristics of Computer

  1. Speed
  2. Accuracy
  3. Reliability
  4. Communication
  5. Consistency
  6. Huge Storage

Speed

The computer is very high speed electronic device it can perform calculation (or can process data) at very high speed.

Accuracy

A computer is also very accurate device. It gives accurate output result. However, the output result depends upon the correction input data and set of instruction given to computer. If input is incorrect the resulting output will be incorrect.

Reliability

The electronic computer in modern computation have very low failure rate. The modern computer can perform complicated calculation without creating any problem and produces consistent (reliable) result. In general, computer is very reliable.

Communication

Today computer is mostly used to exchange messages or data through computer networks all over the world for example, the information can be received or sent through the internet with the help of computer.

Consistency
