                  Important Features of Computers


                  Some of the key features of computers are as follows:
                      Speed: Computers can perform tasks and calculations much faster than humans. This means
                     you can get work done in a fraction of the time.
                      Efficiency: You can run several programs at once, allowing you to switch between tasks easily
                     without slowing down.
                      Storage: Computers can store a lot of information, including documents, photos, and videos.

                      Accuracy: Computers do tasks correctly. They follow instructions perfectly if we give them the
                     right information.
                      Automation: Once you start a program, computers can follow the steps by themselves.
                      Diligence: Computers don’t get tired or bored. They can work for a long time without making
                     mistakes.
                      Memory: Computers can work with huge amounts of information much faster than we can.

                     COMPONENTS OF THE COMPUTER

                  A computer is made up of two main parts: hardware and software.
                  Hardware

                  Hardware  includes all the  physical parts  of  a  computer  that  you  can  see and  touch.  These
                  components are  also known  as hardware  devices. These devices are  categorised  into input,
                  processing, output and storage devices. Let us learn about them.
