WHY COMPUTERS ARE POWERFUL?
Computers are powerful for a variety of reasons. They work with
remarkable speed, reliability, consistency, and accuracy. Computers can
store large amounts of data and information. Also, computers allow
users to communicate with other users or computers. A user is
anyone who communicates and interacts with a computer or makes
use of the information it generates.

communication
It is unbearable to go through a day without communication. Communication happens between two or more people sending and receiving messages
from one another. The one sending the message is referred to as the sender while the one receiving the information is known as the receiver. The
message being transmitted can contain facts, thoughts, perceptions, judgments, beliefs, attitudes, commands, and even reactions. For example, two
computers connected by a communications device, such as a modem, can share stored data, instructions, and information. These two computers can be
located in the same room or thousands of miles away from each other in two different countries.

Classifying Computers
Computers can be classified based on size and computing
power. However, as technology advances, these
classifications tend to overlap as modern computers have
become smaller, yet more powerful, and relatively
cheaper.
The general classifications of computers are as follows:

To compare, a computer with an Intel Core i3 processor,
has only two cores for running its programs and
applications. Core i5 and i7 models usually have only
four cores. Core i7 extreme processors can have six to
eight cores; however, most applications cannot use all
the cores to full advantage. Thus, they do not operate
at full capacity. Imagine having more than 245,000
cores. How many applications and programs can your
computer run in a second?
A computer with 245,000 cores could
potentially run 245,000 applications or
programs simultaneously in one second,
