Brief Introduction

The computer has been defined as an electronic machine that accepts data (input) processes it to produce a useful result (output). It is also capable of storing information. It uses predefined instruction known as computer programs to execute the task in order to produce output. Computers technology has helped in no small measure in activating the problems encountered using manual tools and machines.

Computerization ranks prominently in the commanding heights of economic activities of the business world. Through computerization, industries have been able to control their cost of production heading to high-profit margin, sustainable growth and development, accurate and lasting records.

The manufacturing industry has come a long way from the manual era of machine operation to modern-day science and technology. Within this period, a number of major changes took place in the business world with a significant positive impact on the business world. Notable among these changes are those changes in the manipulation of accounting records, fantastic computer designs etc.

We have various types and categories of computers which perform diverse functions; however, the one of interest and relevance to this research is the digital type of computer.
