WHAT IS LIMITATIONS OF A COMPUTER

The computer can outperform human beings in speed, memory and accuracy but still the computer has limitations. Following are the limitations of computer.

Programmed and Supervised by Human : Though computer is programmed to work efficiently, fast and accurately but it is programmed by human beings to do so. Without a program, computer is nothing. Computer only follows these instructions. If the instructions are not accurate the working of computer will not accurate. Without supervision, computers will operate poorly when dealing with unexpected circumstances, such as information or instructions that are incorrect or incomplete.

No Intelligence : Although computers are faster, more diligent, accurate and versatile than human beings, it cannot replace them. Unlike human beings, computers do not have any intelligence. Its performance is depends on instructions given to it. It cannot carry any task at its own and can‟t take any decision on its own.

Self Care : Computer can not care for itself like a human. A computer is dependent still to human beings for this purpose.

Emotionless : Computers are emotionless. They do not have emotion and feelings. A computer can not feel about something like a human. A computer can not compete human in respect of relations. Computers are simply machines which work as per the instruction given to them.

Thinking : Computer can not think itself. The concept of artificial intelligence shows that the computer can think. But still this concept is dependent on set of instructions provided by the human beings.

Retrieval of Memory : Computer can retrieve data very fast but this technique is linear. A human being's mind does not follow this rule. A human mind can think randomly which a computer machine can not.
