Imagine, a machine that doesn’t exist yet. Draw it in your notebook
                                    and write any one of its use.



                       DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMPUTERS AND

                      MACHINES

                  The other machines can only do the kind of work for which they have been made.
                  But computers can do many kinds of work.

                  For example, we all have seen a bicycle. It is a machine. It is used for transportation

                  from one place to another. It makes our work easier but it cannot do anything other
                  than transportation. On the other hand, a computer can do a lot of things at the
                  same time. For example, we can draw a picture and listen to songs at the same time.

                         A computer cannot work on its own. It needs instructions to
                        perform a task.

                         An abacus is also a machine. It has colourful beads which are
                        used for counting.



                      FEATURES OF A COMPUTER

                  1.   Computers work  very  fast and  they  don’t
                      make mistakes.

                                                                information.
