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.
2. Computers can be used to search for
information.
