It is important because the human does not have to execute instruction from without the machine. Instructions can be stored in memory and executed in sequence referencing the data values it needs on which to operate.
Before a computer can actually read data, process it, and produce information, it must read a set of instructions called a program, which actually indicate what processing is required. Programs, like data, are stored in the computer. This arrangement is referred to as the stored-program concept.
• A stored-program design also lets programsmodify themselves while running• An instruction set is a list of all the instructions,and all their variations, that a processor canexecute.• Instructions include:• Arithmetic such as add and subtract• Logic instructions such as and, or, and not• Data instructions such as move, input, output,load, and store• Control flow instructions such as goto, if ...goto, call, and return

Data and program instructions are stored in primary/electronic memory. Explain the concept of electronic memory ''the concept of electronic memory''
Von Neumann was the first person to suggest to concept of the stored program. This concept states that there is no difference between computer instructions and data. More importantly, he suggested that it was not necessary to have separate storage location for a computer program and data -- hence today, computer instructions are stored in primary memory for execution, along with other data.
The role of memory to store both data and programs is known as the stored program concept. Memory stores three types of items.
the master program of OS is stored in ROM.
The benefits are: for typing.
