Computer Fundamentals and Careers in ICT

WHY COMPUTERS ARE SO

USEFUL AND IMPORTANT
IN THE WORLD TODAY.
Speed:
 In general, no human being can compete
to solving the complex computation, faster
than computer.

 As you know computer can work very fast.

It takes only few seconds for calculations
that we take hours to complete. You will be
surprised to know that computer can
perform millions (1,000,000) of instructions
and even more per second.
Reliability:

 The reliability of results processed by a

computer is very high. If a program is
executed any number of times with the
same set of data, every time the results
would be the same.
Accuracy:

 Computers are very accurate.

 The accuracy of results computed by a

computer is consistently high. Due to
digital techniques the error is very small.
The errors in computer are due to
human and inaccurate data.
 consistency

Consistency:

 A computer is free from tiredness, lack

of concentration, fatigue, etc. It can work
for hours without creating any error. If
millions of calculations are to be
performed, a computer will perform
every calculation with the same
accuracy. Due to this capability it
overpowers human being in routine type
of work. 
 consistency

Storage Capacity:

 Computer has mass storage section

where we can store large volume of data
for future work. Such data are easily
recall from the secondary storage
devices like hard disk (HDD), flash
drives etc.
 consistency

Cost-effectiveness: 

 The computers are now being produced

at the competitive prices so that they
could be economically utilized even by
small houses and industry.
 consistency

Convenience:

 Computers are usually easy to access,

and allow people to find information
easily that without a computer would be
very difficult.
Computers are so useful and important
in the world today because of their :

 Speed
 Reliability
 Accuracy
 Consistency
 Storage Capacity
 Cost Effectiveness
 Convenience
