Characteristics of Computer
Speed
A computer works with much higher speed and accuracy compared to humans while performing mathematical calculations. Computers can process millions (1,000,000) of instructions per second. The time taken by computers for their operations is microseconds and nanoseconds.
Accuracy
Computers perform calculations with 100% accuracy. Errors may occur due to data inconsistency or inaccuracy.
Diligence
A computer can perform millions of tasks or calculations with the same consistency and accuracy. It doesn’t feel any fatigue or lack of concentration. Its memory also makes it superior to that of human beings.
Versatility
Versatility refers to the capability of a computer to perform different kinds of works with same accuracy and efficiency.
Reliability
A computer is reliable as it gives consistent result for similar set of data i.e., if we give same set of input any number of times, we will get the same result.
Automation
Computer performs all the tasks automatically i.e. it performs tasks without manual intervention.
Memory
A computer has built-in memory called primary memory where it stores data. Secondary storage are removable devices such as CDs, pen drives, etc., which are also used to store data.

• digital computers work on discrete data representing quantities by encoding (e.g. integers, coded alphanumeric characters, coded floatingpoint numbers). • analog computers work on continuous data representing quantities by analogy (e.g. voltages, currents, shaft rotation rate, shaft position). • hybrid computers are a combination of digital & analog computers connected together to work as one machine.
discuss the various computer generations along with key characteristic of computers each eneration
Mini computers are large.They are expensive.They are powerful but not as much as main frame computers.They are used for scientific purposes.Number of users are less than of the main frames.
computers weren't invented in 1856.
Computers
They use computers a lot.
keyboard, screen, mouse
The main characteristics of generation computers are:Hand touchMore detailedHigh Defination (HD)High tech.Much easier to be usedMore speed and fast processing
microprocessors, either single or multi chip.

No, but many Star Wars droids exhibit characteristics that modern robots and computers do already have.
The characteristics of a mainframe computer include functioning as a virtual computer and running several operating systems at any given time. Mainframe computers are essential in larger workplaces.
From a generation to the one after, computers became faster and smaller in size. They also consumed less power, generated less heat and became more general-purpose.
