Characteristics of Computer

Computers have several key characteristics: 1) They are automatic, speedy, accurate, diligent, and versatile in performing repetitive tasks without tiring or making errors. 2) They can store vast amounts of information and recall it perfectly, and are very fast in processing data, performing calculations in milliseconds. 3) However, computers have no intelligence or feelings of their own - they must be programmed by users to perform specific logical tasks and cannot think or make decisions independently.
