Why is computer used to measure things?

Answer 1

I know a few:

• they don't need breaks therefore dont stop the work.
• they have much more accurate changes, can read even the most minimal of changes.
• can take data readings more frequently (thousand times per second) if necessary.
• data logging can operate in different environments E.g the arctic on top of mountains.
• people have time to do more things rather than just looking at a thermometer.

• since data is already on comp it can be analyzed to draw graphs.

there u go few of the many...
