   1.       Speed:

The computer can process data very fast at the rate of millions of instruction per second. Some calculation that would have taken along time to complete can be completed in a few second using a computer system.

e.g- calculation and generation of salary list of thousand of employee of an organization and weather forecasting. That require large amount of data. Can be completed in few minutes .

When computer used for longer period of time the computer does not get tired it can perform long and complex calculation with the same speed and accuracy from the start till the end is called diligence.

   6.       Automation:

No human intervention is required, once the instructions and data are given, the CPU follows these instructions until it meets the last instruction which says stop program execution.
