Did you know what type of computer are we using for word processing or serve as storage data?Well it's a General Purpose Computer which has to be able store data so,it has to have a memory or RAM which stands for Random Access Memory. and i red in an article that RAM or Random Access Memory is a "volatile memory" because the date is on a chip but it is "temporarily" which means it serve for a limited time for example when you switch off your computer the data will disappear. it means that the memory will not work if your switch off your computer.or the data will be used when you switch on your computer.and another things about general purpose computer is it is often understood to be a large systembut it may also be a smaller computer like desktop workstation.
SPECIAL PURPOSE COMPUTER
A Special Purpose Computer base on a article in it is designed to solve specific problem and it has many features of general purpose computer but it is designed only to handled specific problem and not to handled computerize activities like documenting .It means it is designed to process numeric data or other term for quantitative data which means it measured or identified on a numerical scale and numerical data can be analyzed using statistical method, so we can use a special purpose computer to figure out specific problem than general purpose computer which handled computerize activities.
