Features of computer


 “Features of Computer”
– Dhan Bahadur Thapa
-                                                                 

- Computer is a very essential part of 21st century. Due to it’s important and very useful features it has becomes very popular now a days. There are many advantages and important features of the computer.
After processing the data, the computer can generate output signal. It displays the result by using output device like monitor, speaker etc. Computer can use electronic circuits to output digital signals, which can control various output devices, for examples, printer, monitor, relay, motor etc. Hardware, software and user should be connect together to run the computer. Some of the feature of computer system is given below-

-Computer is a fastest electronic machine that can perform mathematical calculation at very high speed. The CPU of modern computers can do a large number of calculations within one second. It also can manage and perform a lot of work and data in a short time with 100% accurate. . It can perform 5000 addition and 300 multiplications in a second.  The fast calculation speeds of computer make it possible to control very much facility at the same time under different conditions. Which makes our dally work very easily.  For example, the MTR computer system can control trains in different routes to ensure the system runs normally. So it can perform difficult work very easily at a very few time without any mistake.
2. Multi Function
          -Computer has multi function system. It has many input devices such as mouse, keyboard, scanner, speaker etc. It performs different kinds of action. It can also use electronic circuits to transform signals from electronic sensors to digital data and input them to the computer. By using modem, analog signal of telephone line can transform into digital signal and digital to analog. Also By using a sensor, the temperature can be transformed into digital data and input in the computer.
3. Size and Cost:

          -In early days, Computer was very much big but now days their size is decreasing day by day. by the development of technology, the size and weight of computers have been reduced a lot.  The microcomputers developed recently are so complicated that it is achievable to put the microcomputers into a number of utensils, such as washing machines, air-conditioners etc. Now days, Computer Manufacture Company is developing more and more advantage computer because of their computation. It helps to develop more advantage computer with small size and lower cost. Some of example is; laptop, palmtop, tablet pc etc.
4. High storage size;
          -Computer is the vast data-storing device. Computer use a large number of information storage devices, such as magnetic tape, hard disk, external hard disk, CD-ROM, Pen drive, Micro memory cards, DVD etc and many more.  Therefore, It stores large amount of data, information, record and many more with safety and permanently. Computer use those stored information to perform the controlling work.  For example, we can use computer to design complicated shape of work pieces, then we input the closely connected data into the storage device of the CNC machine and let the computer to control the cutting work of the work pieces according to the data.
. Now computer provides very large amount of data like super computer. It can store data at very high speed.

5. Automatic:
          -Computer is an automatic device. It performs operation automatically of the data given by user. But without data given by user, it cannot do anything so it is called dull and servant of men. 
      

6. Requirement of huge quantity of supporting device
                   -Computers can manage large amount of data in a short time, but it needs some supporting devices to provide information.  Because a computer control system needs many supporting devices.  For example, a system is required to discover the position of the tools and work pieces when a computer is used to control a harsh machine.  The system can give feedback to the computer to agree to it to control the machine accordingly.
-A program is a set of commands.  Computer can work according to the program. Thus, operators can either input new program or modify the accessible program to change the working events or methods according to the requirements.  As a result, computer control system not only can work that simple task and recurring work, it can also manage complicated work under different situation and feedback according to the program.  For example, there is a visual system in the computer prohibited six legs machine. The computer of the robot can examine the image and choose the way without any problem.
8. Telecommunications achievable
-Computers be capable of be used to input or output digital signals, and using the wires to send out signals, replace information and communicate.  Hence, computer information can be transmitted to far-away areas by private cables, optical fiber cable, telephone lines, wifi signal internet or radio wave.  For example, we use video call through internet in computers. Also, it can control far-away video cameras or machines through the internet; computers can also be used to control spacecrafts in space via radio wave.



9. Diligent:
 It is a diligent machine that can perform operation repeatedly repeated without feeling bored and tired. It can work continuous until user can give command to it. It completes all the work completely without any mistake.
            -Nowadays, computers are used in mass production of IC and electronic circuit board .They need new parts to replace those damaged.  With the rapid development of computer technology, the newly designed parts may not be used in those traditional electronic circuit boards, and so the maintenance will be more difficult.  For example, when newly designed random access memory (RAM) is produced, the production of the old designed RAM will finish.  After some time, when the old designed RAM is damaged, it cannot be replaced.


11. Electronic:
          Computer cannot do anything without electricity. All the parts of computer are electronic such as mouse, keyboard, hard disk, CD-ROM, etc. its main resource of power is electronic. It gets power from electricity and run itself and does its work. Hence, it is known as electronic device.


12. Accuracy:
          -Computer is a 100% accurate machine. It never does any mistake if user gives the correct input in the right time. It is also very good feather of computer so people trust it and use it for their daily life. Due to this feature, it is widely used.
