Advantages of Using Computers
Storage Communications
Advantage: Speed
When data, instructions, and information flow along
electronic circuits in a computer, they travel at incredibly
fast speeds.
Many computers process billions or trillions of operations in
a single second.
Processing involves
computing (e.g., adding, subtracting)
sorting (e.g., alphabetizing)
Organizing
Displaying images
Recording audio
Playing music
Showing a movie or video.
Next
Advantage: Reliability
The electronic components in modern computers
are dependable and reliable because they rarely
break or fail.
Next
Advantage: Consistency
Given the same input and processes, a computer
will produce the same results consistently.
A computing phrase known as garbage in,
garbage out points out that the accuracy of a
computers output depends on the accuracy of the
input.
For example, if you do not use the flash on a digital camera
when indoors, the resulting pictures that are displayed on
the computer screen may be unusable because they are too
dark.
Next
Advantage: Storage
A computer can transfer data quickly from storage
to memory, process it, and then store it again for
future use.
Many computers store enormous amounts of data
and make this data available for processing
anytime it is needed.
Next
Advantage: Communications
Most computers today can communicate with other
computers, often wirelessly.
Computers with this capability can share any of the
four information processing cycle operations
input, process, output, and storage with another
computer or a user.
