Introduction to Computer
By
Kashifa Nawab
A computer is an electronic device that receives user input and outputs
information to us. We will receive our desired result regardless of the input.
Components of Computer
 Hardware
 Software
Hardware
The hardware of a computer includes all of its visible parts, such as its The
hardware of a computer refers to all of its languages and programs. It basically
describes the physical aspects of a computer.
Software
Software is a set of instructions, data or programs used to operate computers and
execute specific tasks. Software is a generic term used to refer to applications,
scripts and programs that run on a device.
 Speed
 Accuracy
 Diligence
 Reliability
 Memory
 Logical
 Versatility
 Automation
 Consistency
 Remembrance Power
Speed
A computer device’s speed is extremely fast, as it can perform
any calculation in seconds. This is one of the key characteristics of
computers.
It can open any website or application in the blink of an eye.
Accuracy
This is an incredible characteristic of computers, which is their high
level of accuracy. It is capable of performing 100% accurate
calculations. Nothing in this world is perfect or accurate, but the
computer proves these statements false with its precise results,
calculations, and logic.
Diligence
A computer is free of fatigue, lack of concentration, and so on. It can
work for hours without making any mistakes.
Reliability
A computer is a dependable machine that is capable of performing all
tasks and operations at high speeds and with near-perfect
accuracy. Just like humans, computer software and hardware respond
to the requests or demands made by users.
Memory
 Memory on computers is comparable to that in the human brain. It
is used to store data and directions.
 Computer memory is the storage space on the computer where
data to be processed and processing instructions are stored. It has
both primary and secondary memories. The task we are currently
working on is saved in the main memory, and the task we saved is
saved until we delete it.
Automation
Automation is the use of technology to complete a task with as little
human interaction as possible. In computing, automation is typically
accomplished through the use of a program, a script, or batch
processing.
Consistency
In the context of databases, consistency means that data cannot be
written because it would violate the database’s own rules for valid
data.
Logical
A computer system has certain characteristics, such as the capability
of thinking, reasoning, and learning. These characteristics of
computers help them perform tasks logically.
Versatility
Because computers are so versatile, they can perform almost any task
that can be reduced to a series of logical steps. It refers to the ability
or adaptation to quickly switch from one task to another.
Remembrance Power
A computer is capable of storing an unlimited amount of information
or data. Any information can be stored and retrieved for as long as
you need it, for an unlimited number of years.
