What are the characteristics of computers? What fields are computers mainly used in?
Computers are characterized by high speed, large storage capacity and high precision. The application fields are commerce, science and technology, education and so on.

1, the main characteristics of the computer include: high speed: the computer can process and calculate data at a very high speed; Large storage capacity: the computer can store a large amount of data; High accuracy: high accuracy of computer operation, which can avoid human error; Strong programmability: the computer can program and change functions according to different needs; High degree of automation: the computer can automatically perform the specified tasks.

2. Computers are mainly used in the following fields: business and finance: financial management, stock trading, market analysis, etc. Science and engineering field: used for scientific calculation, data analysis, image processing, etc. Education: used for teaching, learning, research, etc. Medical care field: used in medical image processing, medical record management, drug research and development, etc. Entertainment and games: used in film production, game development, virtual reality, etc.

Computer classification:

1, classified by performance index: supercomputer, high speed, large capacity; Mainframe, fast, used in the field of military technology research; Minicomputer, simple structure, low cost and outstanding cost performance; Microcomputer is small in size, light in weight and low in price.

2. Classification by purpose: special machine with strong pertinence, specific service and special design; Universal computer, scientific calculation, data processing and process control to solve various problems.

3, according to the principle of classification: CNC machine tools, high speed, high precision, automation, versatility; Simulator takes analog quantity as operation quantity, which is fast and poor in accuracy; Mixer combines the advantages of the first two and avoids its disadvantages, and is in the development stage.
