Computers are thought to have many remarkable powers. However, most computers whether large or small, have three basic capabilities. First, computers have circuits for performing arithmetic operations, such as addition, subtraction, division, multiplication and exponentiation. Second, computers have a means of communicating with the user. After all, if we couldn’t feed information in and get results back, these machines wouldn’t be of much use. However, certain computers for example minicomputers and microcomputers are used to control directly things such as robots, aircraft navigation systems, medical instruments, etc.

Third, computers have circuits, which can make decisions. Computer can solve a series of problems and make hundreds, even thousands, of logical decisions without becoming tired or bored. It can find the solution to a problem in a fraction of the time it takes a human being to do the job. A computer can replace people in dull, routine tasks, but it has no originality; it works according to the instructions given to it. A computer cannot do anything unless a person tells it what to do and gives it the appropriate information.
