Accuracy: Computers follow instructions exactly, making them highly accurate with minimal
                     errors if the instructions are correct.

                      Storage: Computers can store vast amounts of data and retrieve it whenever needed, allowing
                     for easy access to information.
                      Versatility: Computers can perform  a wide range  of tasks, from calculations and word
                     processing to complex simulations and gaming.
                      Automation: Computers can perform tasks  automatically without continuous human
                     intervention once programmed.
                      Diligence: Unlike humans, computers don’t  get  tired  and  can  perform  repetitive  tasks
                     consistently without losing focus or quality.
                  Uses of a Computer


                  Computers are very helpful, and we use them for lots of different things every day. Here are
                  some ways computers make our lives easier:
                      Learning: Computers help with online learning, research, and understanding subjects through
                     videos.
                      Staying Connected: You can easily stay in touch with friends and family via email, chat, and
                     video calls.
                      Fun and Entertainment: Computers provide games, movies, and music for enjoyment and
                     relaxation.

                      Doing Homework: Computers assist students in writing reports, creating presentations, and
                     managing assignments.
                      Creative Projects: Computers allow creativity with drawing, video editing, music production,
                     and graphic design.
                      Finding Information: They offer quick access to information on almost any subject online.
                      Job Tasks: Computers streamline data management, reporting, and communication at work.

                      Coding and Programming: You can learn programming on computers to develop apps and
                     software.
                      Simulating Real-Life Situations: Computers create virtual simulations for safe learning and
                     training.
                      Making Things Run Smoothly: In industries, computers help machines work faster and more
                     accurately.
                  Basic Operations of a Computer

                  Computer is responsible to perform four basic operations:

                      Input (Raw Data): Unprocessed information entered into a computer via input devices like
                     keyboards, Mouse, or scanners.
                      Process: The process involves transforming raw data into useful information by organising,
                     analysing, and manipulating it.
                      Output (Information/Processed Data): It is the information that has been organised and
                     processed to give the desired result, also known as meaningful data.
                      Storage: It is the process of retaining either raw data or processed information for future use.
