Computer Tips And Tricks

Classification of computer All modern computers and computing devices use microprocessors whose speeds and storage  capacities are skyrocketing day by day. The developmental benchmark for computers is now  their size. Computers are now classified on the basis of their use or size:  Desktop  Laptop  Tablet  Server  Mainframe  Supercomputer Let us look at all these types of computers in detail.

Characteristicsof Computer To understand why computers are such an important part of our lives, let us look at some of its characteristics:  Speed: Typically, a computer can carry out 3-4 million instructions per second.  Accuracy: Computers exhibit a very high degree of accuracy. Errors that may occur are usually due to inaccurate data, wrong instructions or bug in chips – all human errors.  Reliability: Computers can carry out same type of work repeatedly without throwing up errors due to tiredness or boredom, which are very common among humans.  Versatility: Computers can carry out a wide range of work from data entry and ticket booking to complex mathematical calculations and continuous astronomical observations. If you can input the necessary data with correct instructions, computer will do the processing.  Storage Capacity: Computers can store a very large amount of data at a fraction of cost of traditional storage of files. Also, data is safe from normal...
