Basic Operations and Capabilities of Computers

Basic Operations of a Computer :

The computer have the following five basic operations to carry out any task.

1. Input : It is the process of capturing or acquiring the information or it is the raw data or information. By using this we can do any process.

2. Process : It is the transformation process to convert the input in to output.

4. Storing : It is the process of saving the data or information or instructions, so that they can retained and retrieved whenever required.

5. Controlling : It is the process of directing the manner and sequence in  which all the operations are to be performed.

Capabilities of Computers :

The following are the capabilities of computers :

1. Computers offer unmatched speed, performing computation faster than humans. The computers provide large capacities to store information and the capability to rapidly access this information. 

2. Computers undertake laborious and repetitive tasks relieving us for a critical, Creative activities.

3. Computers perform tasks repeatedly without errors, avoiding the fatigue that effects humans.

4. Computers can do critical and dangerous tasks that may be hazardous to humans.

5. Computers provide necessary information that we can use it in decision making.

6. Computers offer services in a wide range of development areas that previously did not exist.

7. Computers allow society to undertake new activities in various fields and to function more efficiently.

8. Computers provide new time dimensions for the working day and for the human concept.

9. Computers provide efficient and effective controls over humans.

10. Computers can hold a program of model which can be explored in many different areas.
