 “INTRODUCTION TO
COMPUTER”
A computer is an electronic device
designed to process, store and retrieve
data. It performs various tasks by
executing programs, which are sets of
instructions written by humans. The
primary function of a computer is to
process data input and output results in
various forms, such as text, graphics or
sound.
 “ELEMENTS OF A
COMPUTER
SYSTEM”
A computer system consists of
several key components that work
together to perform tasks. These
elements can be divided into
hardware and software.

2. INFORMATION ACCESSIBILITY –
The internet allows easy access to vast
amounts of information.
1. INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY –
Computers automate many tasks,
enabling faster and more efficient
work.

“ADVANTAGES
OF
COMPUTERS”
 6. ACCURACY– Computers can
perform very complex computations
accurately in a very short period of
time .
5. SPEED– Computers can execute
programs quickly. Thousand of
instructions can execute in seconds.
4. COMMUNICATION – Computers
enable quick communication through
email, messaging and video calls.

“ADVANTAGES
OF COMPUTERS”
3. HEALTH CONCERNS –Prolonged use of
computers can lead to physical issues
such as eye strain and posture problems.
2. SECURITY RISKS – Computers and
networks are vulnerable to cyberattacks
leading to data breaches and privacy
issues.
1. JOB DISPLACEMENTS–
Automation can lead to job
losses in certain sectors.

“DISADVANTAGES
OF COMPUTERS”
6. DATA SECURITY– The data stored on a
computer can be accessed by
unauthorized persons through networks..
5. VIRUS AND HACKING ATTACKS– A virus
may be a worm and hacking is just
unauthorized access over a computer for a
few illicit purposes..
4. HIGH COST–Computers are
expensive. Even the foremost
affordable computers are still very
expensive.
