Welcome to class!

In today’s class, we will be talking about the importance of computer as a tool for data processing. Enjoy the class!

Importance of Computer as a Tool for Processing Data  

We need a computer for data processing for various reasons:

1. Business organizations are bigger and more complex with an increased number of day-to-day activities handled by such organizations.
2. Traditional, manual methods are too slow to handle manual transactions. Hence, unfinished transactions are pushed forward to another time. i.e. there are backlogs.
3. Extra time and resources needed to clear the backlogs.
4. Accuracy of information may not be guaranteed under manual methods.
5. Information may not be available on time and this may affect decision making and adequate planning.
6. Traditional storage of data is inefficient especially with a large quantity of information.

Advantages of Computer as a Tool for Data Processing

1. Accuracy of information is guaranteed.
2. A large volume of data can be processed.
3. Timely output i.e. It operates at a very high speed.
4. The diligence of the machine is guaranteed.
5. Reliability of information.
