What are some limitations of a computer aside from it can do only what is designed or programmed to do?
Some Limitations of a Computer
When a theres problem needs to be solved by a computer, the computer will only try to solve it with the logic that was programmed to it by the programmer. If the logic can solve the problem, then you will be able to get the result in a matter of seconds. But if the problem requires other means aside from the logic programmed into its memory , then you will get no results, so the error message will be displayed.And one thing, the computer will not work by himself without a person manipulating the computer, so it means the computer is nothing without human.
Some Limitations of a Computer
Computers, since it was first invented, really helped human beings a lot in different aspects like in medical, building design, architecture, road plans, and a whole lot more. Even if it has enormous or maybe unlimited uses and capabilities, it is still a machine that has limitations and it should be like this no matter how advanced our generations are. Every thing should have limitations.
A computer has no self intelligence. Although it has the ability to think but all are based on programs and instructions fed to be processed. It doesn’t have the ability to think for itself and only relies on commands and instructions for functionality. A computer doesn’t have the ability to make its own decision. It relies on the tasks it process and will create its decisions depending on the values specified in the instructions. A computer doesn’t have the ability to learn. It only knows how to follow the instructions but is not capable of learning it.
