The five functions carried out by any digital computer are: 1) Takes data as input, 2) Stores the data/instructions in its memory and uses them as required, 3) Processes the data and converts it into useful information, 4) Generates the output, and 5) Controls all the above four steps.

The advantages of computers mentioned in the text are: 1) High speed, as computers are capable of performing calculations of very large amounts of data in a few seconds. 2) Accuracy, as the calculations are 100% error-free. 3) Storage capability, as computers have much more storage capacity than human beings and can store any type of data such as images, videos, text, audio, etc.

The general concept of a computer according to the text is that it is an electronic data processing device which accepts and stores data input, processes the data input, and generates the output in a required format.

It has become a necessity for everyone to know about computers in today's world because today's world is an information-rich world, and computers play a crucial role in processing and generating useful information.

The storage capability of a computer mentioned in the text is that it has much more storage capacity than human beings and can store large amounts of data, including images, videos, text, audio, etc.
