Benefits

There are several benefits of a data processing system. The number one benefit is speed A data processing system can process data measured in billionths and trillionths of a second. A data processing system can carry out a sequence of program instructions without human interference or interaction. Instructions from program implementation are stored in ROM (read only memory) and can be accessed by the system to process a particular program. Another benefit is the storage capacity of a data processing unit, which can store thousands of files and is only limited by the size of the storage disk inside the unit.

Career Opportunities

When data processing became a vital element to business and government organization, it provided jobs for individuals to maintain the data system. As the technology in data processing evolved, so did the demand for data processing specialists. Today, data processing has evolved into bigger, faster and more complex systems.

Future of Data Processing

The future of data processing has evolved to the Internet. Companies can set up data modules on their website for employees and clients to input information and, through the website, receive results. The next wave of data processing will include text-to-disk entry of data over the Internet and remote processing of data from anywhere in the world. Also, the physical size of computers to process data is getting smaller.
