APPLICATION AND USE OF COMPUTERS
in general, human beings can do whatever computers can do but computers can do it with much greater speed and accuracy. this is in spite of the fact that computers preform all their calculations and operations one step at a time. for example ,a human being can take a list of 10 numbers and find their sum all in one operation by listing the numbers one over the other and adding them column. a computer, on the other hand, can add numbers only two at a time, so adding this same list of numbers will take nine actual addition steps. of course, the fact that the computer requires only a nanosecond or less per step, makes up for this apparent inefficiency.
computers have found their way into application areas that were not feasible 20 years ago. the rapid increase in the number and variety of computer application has made them significant part of our lives. the following sections present examples from some of the major areas of application
