Q2. (B) Explain the importance of computer in modern age.  

Ans.
Today computers are put to a variety of uses. They have been designed with highly improved performances. Computers can be used to process voluminous data at a high speed. As regards its application in the field of accounting, a computer should be able to deal with routine accounting. It means all normal accounting processes such as financial transactions should be dealt with the use of a computer. All cash and bank transactions, handling of accounts of debtors and creditors and calculation of wages and salaries etc should be handled with the use of computer. In addition, computers can be put to other popular uses such as production, programming and control, flexible budgetary control, variance analysis, sales and forward trends etc.
            Following points explain the importance of computer in modern age.

SPEED  - In the modern world, the desire of a man to complete tasks within the stipulated time limits has been, to a large extent, fulfilled by using a computer. Computers enable us to do arithmetical computations with a high degree of speed and ease. It has enables us to do things, which would have been almost impossible earlier. The speed which computers functions are measured in Pico seconds (1/1000 of Nano – second). Thus, computers are capable of making millions of computations per second. Hence, a powerful computer is capable of completing the tasks in less than an hour, which could have taken a year for a group of people to compute.

ACCURACY: - Computers are not only fast in completing a job at a great speed, but it is also performed with a high degree of accuracy. Sometimes, it is common to say that there is a “Computer error”. As a matter of fact, it is “Human error” and not a “Computer error” since a computer carries out the instructions efficiently given by the programmer. As such, if the instructions are faulty, the errors creep in the computer’s output.

DILIGENCE: - By doing similar job continuously, human beings get tired which results into some mistakes. As against this, a computer is capable of doing the same job continuously error free. A computer takes the same time to complete the first calculation as well as the 10000th calculation. Thus, the degree of diligence possessed by a computer is impossible in case the same job is done by human beings.

STORAGE: - Another advantage offered by a computer is that of its enormous capability to store data. A computer is capable of storing data along with the instructions given by the programmer in the primary (main) memory. In case, the primary memory is not sufficient it can be stored in its secondary (auxiliary) memory. There are various devices used for storing the secondary memory. Some of the common devices used in secondary memory are Compact Disks, Tapes, Drums, pen Drives etc. Having large capacity to store data.

VERSATILITY: - A computer possesses great versatility, which is capable of performing arithmetic calculations, logic operation of comparison and moving data within different sections of the computer and in input and output operations. Although, a computer lacks a brain of its own, it can be put to a varied uses such as preparation of mark – lists, financial accounting, share analysis etc.

MISCELLANEOUS: - In addition to the above – mentioned advantages, a computer can offer economies in the form of effective managerial control, saving in labour cost because it is fully automatic.
