1 The computer is......... A computer is an electronic device that manipulates (translates / processes data into information) information on instructions. The computer also has the ability to store, retrieve, update, and print data and information. Computers are electronic devices that can perform everyday tasks efficiently and easily

2 Basic Component of the computer Scanner System Unit Monitor Printer Mouse UPS Keyboard Speakers

3 Basic Component of the computer Mouse UPS Monitor Printer Scanner System Unit Keyboard Speakers

4 Functions of the computer Input Data & Instructions Processing Output Information The basic functions of a computer are Data entry Data processing Release the processed data

5 Significant Features(Characteristics) of a Computer

6 (Significant Features(Characteristics) of a Computer) Computers have the ability to perform any task in a very short period of time. Eg: -Computer has the ability to do even very large calculations at blink of an eye Computers have the ability to perform any task in a very short period of time. Eg: -Computer has the ability to do even very large calculations at blink of an eye Speed and Efficiency

7 A computer can be described as a device with a very high degree of accuracy.But the accuracy of the given data depends on the accuracy of the instructions. Eg:-GIGO - Garbage In Garbage Out A computer can be described as a device with a very high degree of accuracy.But the accuracy of the given data depends on the accuracy of the instructions. Eg:-GIGO - Garbage In Garbage Out Accuracy

8 Constancy means doing the same thing or looking the same. That is, every time the same input is given, the output is the same. Eg:- When the marks obtained by the students for the term test are graded on the same grading scale. Consistency A75<= B64>75 C54>65 S34>55 W>35

9 The memory that stores data in a computer is divided into primary and secondary storage.  Primary memory is a temporary memory.  Secondary storage is removable devices such as CDs and pen drives. Storage Capacity (Memory)

10 Even if you have to pay a lot of money to buy a computer, you do not need a lot of money to maintain it.. Cost

11 Computers have speed, memory, and accuracy, but they cannot function on their own. That is, a computer is a machine that operates on instructions. The functionality of all its hardware depends on the instructions coded to perform their functionality. Thus it has no intelligence (IQ) No Intelligence(No IQ)

12 Versatility(Multitasking ) Multitasking is a special feature of computers. A user can perform different types of tasks on a computer at the same time. Ex: - We can type a script using MS Word on the computer and listen to the songs and print them using the printers. We can do several things at once.

13 No Feeling In computers, like humans, there is no feeling and emotion, nor does the computer have any knowledge and experience, because a computer is a machine which works continuously on the instruction of humans without any selfishness and without tiredness.
