why is patience important while working on computers?

Patience is quite important, but sometimes you really have waited enough and it's time to call tech-support. Really, the more impatient you are, the more stressed you're going to get while you're on a computer. And as you become more stressed, you really can't work with a computer very well.

People would rather deal with human errors than with computer errors.  It would look extremely weird to blame a computer, wouldn't it?

Yes its necessary for the computer to keep working.

People make entire careers out of studying the questions you've asked, so it's not reasonable to expect a total answer in a Yahoo Answers response.\n\nThe first thing to understand is that people use their computers for a lot of different things, not just games.  Some people do run a lot of different programs at once (I have about 20 different programs running right now on the machine I'm using to write this, and an additional 20 or so browser tabs!)   A lot of people (probably mostly "non technical" people who just do mail and simple web browsing and editing of small files) don't need a lot of computer power.   But people who run some kinds of games, or who do design work where the computer is responding immediately to inputs by doing simulations, or modeling something, will need a lot more computer power.   In some kinds of applications, dual core technology will help (it depends on the specific calculations to be done), and in others it will not.   If the calculation is "single thread", meaning that it all has to be done in a particular order because each bit of computing depends on the results of previous calculations, then dual cores won't help much.  But if some of the work can be done in parallel, in 2 or more independent calculations, then dual core will help quite a bit.\n\nClock speed is only one measurement of the effective speed of the machine, and it is the easiest one to understand.   But at least as important is how fast memory is.   And memory speeds have not been changing nearly as fast as computer speeds.   Because the computer is very dependent on accessing the memory (this is a very complicated subject all by itself), making the clock speed faster by 10% will usually not make the computer overall faster by 10%.

I am not sure what the question is, but if you want to know why computers are addictive, here is one main reason: the absence of Delay of Gratification.\nOn a computer, for every action, you get an almost immediate reaction: when you code, when you look for information, when you chat, as soon as you hit the return key, something happens to tell you whether you did right or not. The brain gets addicted to this because it doesn't need to wait for reward or punishment. This is in contrast with something like schooling, where you need to work for years with only momentary indications of success or failure (exams, report cards) to finally get the reward: a diploma, and the prospect of a good job.\nThis explains why young people prefer to play on the computer rather than studying: when you play a game, you know immediately if you did the right move. If you study, you are not certain that you will get the reward (the diploma), and you are not certain that the reward will be what you wanted (good job).

A monitor can not change the speed or how well a computer can multi-task. Perhaps they just mean that multi-tasking is easy becuase the monitor is so big.

Computer are complicated so you can ask the question "why are computers so complicated?"  Computers are complicated because  they need to be "complicated" in order to perform the "complicated" functions they are design to perform.

Many things can do this.\n\nYour computer hangs when a program is waiting for something to be processed.  When programming, it is important to make sure that the bits of information that need to be processed are small enough so that the delays are short.\n\nAs far as errors, you will need to ask a specific question about a specific error.

Technical jobs are definitely more important.  In the last 20 years we've experienced a technological revolution.  Computers are the way of the future - so IT jobs matter!

when I am teaching about this specific question, I tell my students to spin their negative thing into a positive thing for he employer. For example, an individual who is VERY attentive to detail may take a bit longer to complete a task when compared to others.  HOWEVER, those few extra minutes for task completion mean that it will be truly complete AND that no one else will need to fix the errors later.

If you have alot of memory and a good processer it will take less time then ones with little memory and a slow processer.  So, if you computer is alittle older it should take alittle longer.  New computers 30 sec or so, older computers 30 secs to 2 minutes.

There could be many reason for a computer to be slow. If you are running multiple process in background then it will slow you computer down. If there is any program running which is consuming most of the memory, that makes computer slow to operate. Another common reason is, if there is a spyware in your system, then it makes your system slow. Try to install Microsoft antispyware tool from here, http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx and run full system scan. it will detect if there is any spyware in your system, and it will remove it. hope this helps.

Patience, the ability to encourage but able to constructively point out mistakes, communicates easily with all co-workers (or most).  support when person gets discouraged.  be able to spot someone who absolutely does  not belong in this field
