3. Accuracy: Computers can generate reliable results with high computational speed. If the input is right then only the appropriate output will be generated. The computer never gives inaccurate results; if results are inaccurate it means inputted data was erroneous.
4. Versatility: A computer is a versatile machine that can perform different types of jobs with the same accuracy rate.
5. Diligence: Computers never get tired. As humans get tires when he works regularly but the computer can perform tasks over and over again, with the same outcome, and it does so without tiring.
