What are the characteristics of integrated circuit computers?

Answer 1

They make computers smaller, faster, and perhaps more reliable. First computers were made of vacuum tubes. They were later made using transistors. After that, the transistors were moved to integrated circuits. From there was VLSI, or very large scale integration.

Answer 2

Characteristics of a Computer System

Accuracy

: computers operate at a very high degree of accuracy. It does not become exhausted easily tothe extent of making mistakes.

Speed:

computer is generally known for its speed. The speed of computer is measure in millions ofinstruction per seconds and it increases progressively as the computer develops.

Reliability:

the computer responds to the instruction keyed into it without any alteration, as a result ofthis, it gives no room for doubt over out output. Therefore, the operator relies on it for effectiveness.Example include a program computer device to ring alarm to alert workers of any emergency, aprogrammed entry and exit door used in big companies and supermarkets, offices, etc.

Versatility:

it fits into different fields of human endeavor ranging from business, education, technology,engineering, law, commerce, agriculture, medicine, sports.etc it can perform different types of tasksprovided such tasks can be stated in logical way for the computer to execute.

Large Storage Capacity:

vast quantities of data stored in paper files would become extremely bulky andrequire substantial storage space. Furthermore, the job of manually extracting data from such files wouldbecome increasingly tedious and time consuming as the size of the files increases. But with the computer,data can be stored electronically in considerable less space, and retrieve in a fraction of the time neededby the manual method. The ability of the computer to store, retrieve and process data, all without humanintervention gives it power and appeal over that of human.So, while human can perform the same function as the computer, the difference and major benefits is thatthe computer can reliably execute millions of instructions in a second and stored the result in an almostunlimited memory.

Programmability:

The computer can be programmed to do all forms of activities of man. Programming incomputer means the act of writing computers programs and this involves the use of special set ofcharacters, signs, symbols, to supply instruction to the computer for execution towards achieving specifictasks (motives). This opportunity gave room for the computer to be a versatile system

Answer 3

they like other computers, they're cute, and like long walks on the motherboard
