The computer is a programmed device with a group of instructions to perform specific tasks and generate results at a really high speed. A Computer is a machine that can solve difficult and different problems, process data, store & retrieve data and perform calculations faster and more accurately as compared to humans.
What is Computer
The literal meaning of a computer may be a device that will calculate. Its full form can be abbreviated as Commonly Operated Machine Particularly Used For Training, Education, and Research.
However, modern computers can do tons of quiet calculations. The computer can be defined as a machine that receives input stores it and then process the stored data as per the instructions given by the user of the computer and finally gives the output as required.
Nowadays computers are used in almost every field of human society either it is our home, school, colleges, factories or at business work. But, at the same time, there are some important advantages and disadvantages of computers also there.
A computer is a small, powerful, helpful, and complete automated machine for humankind. Although the computer today is a great convenience for many of us and brings many advantages.
But, unfortunately, it brings not only benefits but also harms that you need to be aware of. Perhaps, suppose a person knows the information of benefits and disadvantages of a computer. In that case, they will begin to spend less time and use it only for productive work on the computer.
A computer can store billions of data and these records are easily accessible with high accuracy. We measure computer storage in terms of Bytes, like KiloBytes (KB), Megabytes (MB), Gigabytes (GB), etc.
Advantages of Computer
A computer is a high-speed electronic machine. It operates and processes many complex calculations and commands in microseconds or even in nanoseconds with incredible speed.
Today’s computers are no more up to a calculating device as a few years back was. Today’s generation of computers can understand and process lots of instructions in just the blink of an eye which takes significant time for humans.
We use a computer to complete the task efficiently, diligence, and total accuracy for our daily work. It saves a lot of time, energy, and overall cost to complete a specific task.
- High Speed in Work
Due to the high-speed combination of both computers and the Internet, you can enjoy video streaming & listen to songs without buffering most of the time, and messaging chats and email rapidly.
- Mass Knowlege
The Internet has unlimited knowledge and information about every field, and such plenty of data we can use for our studies and project by sitting in one place. It is worth typing and searching for the needed topic in the search query to get desired info.
At present, to solve problems, projects, research, homework, assignments, practicals. Whether you are a student, manager, businessman, or employee, it is sufficient to use the Internet, which is rich in various dictionaries, encyclopedias, and scientific research.
The computer allows you to get information in video format on the computer screen that is not found in any documents and books. Such information with broad education provides opportunities for everyone in all areas.
A computer with an Internet connection is an opportunity to access the latest news in almost every field. With the help of the computer, anyone can find and learn all the information from all parts of the world that are not physically accessible.
- Storage capability
Computer memory has much more capacity than humans. We cannot store audio, video, image, text, etc., in our memory beyond some limit, but this data can be stored inside the computer as per our needs at any time
As you know, it is easier to search for any query on the Internet. We can also store all the important notes and media on our computer, which will save our time from visiting libraries and searching for information in books and magazines.
Many business companies take advantage of the storage capacity of computers to maintain their customers’ accounts. Similarly, many companies like banks also use to store records and manage financial exchanges. By these, customers can check all the forms of their accounts using the Internet.
Disadvantages of Computer
- Time Consuming
Much time will be wasted in front of the computer if a person starts watching videos and playing games without stopping. One should know the harmful effects of spending too much time on the computer.
- Lack of intelegence
The Computer does not have intelligence as much as humans have. Yes, AI (Artificial Intelligence) is developing well. But still, it follows the instructions and takes the decisions given by us.
The computers cannot make decisions on their own at certain times, which sometimes makes our work slow, only after giving the proper and correct instructions, they work. If computers get wrong or improper instructions, then the result will be wrong.
A computer is an electronic device that does not have any Feelings, Emotions towards humans. The logical mind of a computer is not able to determine right or wrong things.
Therefore, even after having the feature of autonomous. It cannot do any work independently and depends on humans for instructions to do anything.
- Eyes Vision
People continue to use computers throughout the day, especially those who have a dependent job on the computer and the Internet.
Such continuity can lead to health problems such as poor eyesight, low energy, obesity in the body, and other diseases. Viewing the monitor screen of a computer all day weakens the eyes’ vision and hurts the backbone.
So if you are working in a job that depends on a computer, you should have to take remedial measures to take care of your eyes.
For example, whenever you use the computer, make sure that you take a break of 10 to 15 minutes at an interval of an hour and stay away from the computer for some time. Such a rest will help protect your vision.
One can also use a specific protective monitor screen or computer glasses
