IMPORTANCE OF THE COMPUTER AS A TOOL FOR DATA PROCESSING

Data are raw facts given to the system to process to obtain information. Data are referred to as unprocessed
information

Information is the result obtained from processed data. Information is referred to as PROCESSED DATA.
Although data and information are used interchangeably but there are still differences.

Data are input into the computer system while information is displayed or painted out of the computer system.
However, many tools such as the finger, abacus, Napier logarithms e.t.c can be used to process data into an
information computer system is the best of all these tools because of the following reasons

1. Speeds: Computer operations (the execution of an instruction such as the addition of two numbers) are
done at the speed of light i.e. data is processed at a very fast rate when using the computer.
2. Accuracy: The computer is very accurate when processing data, it is not prone to errors like human
beings.
 3. Reliability: Computers can work for long periods of time performing repetitive tasks without complaining
and a user can be sure that a directive given to the computer will be carried out.
4. Storage: Computer storage is far more efficient such that the quantity of data stored at any point can be
accessed anytime it is required.
5. Memory Capability: Computer systems can store a huge amount of data or information and they have
total and instant recall of these data.
6. Exchange of information: The computer has the ability to exchange information quickly and easily with
computers and other devices.
7. Efficiency and productivity can be raised.
8. Running cost becomes lower in the long term.
9. Overall security can be raised due to less human intervention.
