                           FEATURES OF COMPUTERS

                 Computers are present in all spheres of life whether it is at home, school, workplace or a

                 mall. Following are some advantages of computers:
                     Speed: A computer can perform a large number of calculations within seconds.
                     Storage Capacity: A computer is capable of storing a large amount of data that can

                     be retrieved, as and when required.
                     Accuracy: A computer is capable of producing accurate results. If data entered in the
                     computer is correct, then it never fails to produce correct results.

                     Versatility: A computer can perform a variety of tasks and can be used in different
                     fields like education, entertainment, healthcare, banking, etc.
                     Diligence: A computer does not get tired and can work for longer hours without getting

                     bored. It can perform with the same accuracy and speed, no matter how much time it
                     takes.



                           LIMITATIONS OF COMPUTERS

                 Computers  can do  accurate  work at  high speed,  yet  they  have some  limitations  as
                 compared to human beings.
