Why Computers
are Powerful?

A User
-is anyone who
communicates
and interacts with
a computer or
makes use of
information it
generates.

SPEED
In the system unit, operations get done
through electronic circuits. When data,
instructions, and information drift along
these circuits, they travel at incredibly fast
speeds. Most computers bring out billions of
operations in a single second. The world’s
fastest computer can perform trillions of
operations in one second.
5
The electronic components in
modern computers are dependable
because they have a low failure
rate. The high reliability of
components enables the computer
to produce consistent results.
Reliability and Consistency
6
Computers process large
amounts of data and generate
error-free results, provided the
data is inputted correctly and the
instructions work properly. If data
is inaccurate, the result output is
also incorrect.
Accuracy
7
It is unbearable to go through a
day without communication.
Communication happens between
two or more people sending and
receiving messages from one
another.
Communication
8
Two computers connected by a
communications device, such as a modem,
can share stored data, instructions, and
information. These two computers can be
located in the same room or thousands of
miles away from each other in two
different countries.

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Computers are powerful for a variety of reasons. They work with remarkable speed, eliability, consistency, and accuracy. Computers can store amounts of data and information. Also, computers allow users to communicate with other users or computers.
  • #6 A computing phrase known as garbage in, garbage out points out that the accuracy of a computer’s output depends on the accuracy of the input.
  • #7 The one sending the message is referred to as the sender while the one receiving the information is known as the receiver. The message being transmitted can contain facts, thoughts, perceptions, judgments, beliefs, attitudes, commands, and even reactions.
