Little Angels Higher Secondary School, Mhow, (M.P.) : Session-2017-18 Computer Project Work

Little Angels Higher Secondary School submitted a computer project on introduction to computers for the 2017-18 session. The 3-page document included sections on input and output units, primary and secondary memory, and random access memory and read only memory. It described computers as devices that manipulate data according to instructions and provided characteristics like speed, accuracy, reliability, storage capacity, and versatility. It also defined input and output devices, and explained primary memories like RAM and ROM and secondary memories like hard disks and USB drives.

Introduction to Computers.

• Computers :- A technological device is changing our lives.


It has changed the way we work, play and live. This
revolution is due to computers which are transforming the
ways we communicate, learn and do our business. A computer
is a machine which manipulates data according to a list of
instructions. In simple words ‘It is a device in which if we
give some input, it processes it and gives us a meaningful
information.
• Characteristics of a computer:-
• Speed:- Computers work at a very high speed. They can carry out
millions of instructions in a second.
• Accuracy:- Computers are extremely accurate – even up to a micron,
picosecond; or whatever level of precision is required.
• Reliability:- Computers are very reliable. They can perform
complicated calculations very quickly and produce consistent
(reliable) results.
• Storage capacity:- Computers can store a large amount of data that
can be retrieved quickly.
• Diligence:- Computers do not get tired of working. They do not get
bored of doing the same work over and over again.
• Versatility:- Computers are flexible and can do different types of jobs
efficiently. They do not leave work for tea or coffee break and do not
fall ill.
