What is reliability of a computer?

The computer is reliable and accurate because it uses automated systems to get information. In essence, formulas are programmed within the system that result in the computer generating the correct answer.

Answer 2

Computers are like a car except more reliable. Computers WILL ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO DO unless they are affected by a virus or other malicious program. However, if you drop a computer, expect it to break. If you spill water on it, expect it to break. Desktops should always be stationary upright and laptops in a protective case.

Computer speed depends on how much money you spend on your computer.

In normal use, you can't "break" a computer however much you use it, but electronic components can wear out or even fail suddenly, although this is becoming less and less likely with constant improvement in manufacture.
