Limitations and Capabilities of Computer System

What are the Limitations and Capabilities of Computer System?

Limitations of Computer system

The limitation is that humans overcome the shortcomings of their computer systems. There are many limitations of computer are given below.

• Lack of common-sense
• Zero IQ
• Lack of Decision-making

Lack of common sense

This is one of the main limitations of computer systems. The efficiency, speed, and reliability of computer systems are not important, but they still have no common sense, because a complete algorithm has not been designed to program logic into it.

 
Because computers run stored programs, they just lack common sense.

Zero IQ 

Another limitation of computer systems is that their IQ (IQ) is zero. 
They cannot see and think about the actions to be taken in a particular situation, unless the situation has been programmed.

 
Computers are programmable and can complete every task, no matter how small.

Lack of decision-making 

Decision-making is a complex process involving information, knowledge, intelligence, wisdom and judgment.

 
The computer system does not have the ability to make decisions on its own, because it does not have all the basic elements of decision-making, it can make such decisions through programming, and these decisions are purely program-oriented.

If the computer is not programmed for a specific decision-making situation, it will not make decisions due to lack of wisdom and evaluation capabilities. 

On the other hand, humans have this powerful decision-making power.

Capabilities of Computer

The capabilities of a computer is the quality of the computer, which makes the computer have a positive meaning and makes the user experience more efficient.

• Speed
• Accuracy
• Reliability
• Storage

Speed

Speed ​​refers to the duration of time required for a computer system to perform a task or perform an activity. 

As we all know, a computer needs less time to complete a task than a human.

 
Generally, humans regard seconds or minutes as a unit of time, but computer systems can run so fast that the unit of time is a fraction of a second. 

Today, computers can perform 100 million calculations per second, which is why the industry has developed millions of instructions per second (MIPS) as a standard for classifying different computers based on speed.

Accuracy 

Accuracy refers to the level of accuracy with which calculations and tasks are performed. 

You may spend years detecting errors in computer calculations or updating incorrect registry.

 
A large proportion of errors in computer-based information systems (CBIS) are caused by poor programming, data errors, and deviations from rules.

Humans can cause these errors. Hardware attributable errors are usually distinguished and corrected by the computer system itself.

 
Computers rarely make mistakes and can perform various tasks accurately.

Reliability 

Reliability is the quality that users can maintain reliable in the computer. 
Computer systems are very suitable for performing repetitive tasks. 

They will never feel tired, bored or tired. Therefore, they are much more reliable than humans.

Nevertheless, due to internal and external reasons, the computer system may still malfunction.

In a highly automated industry, any computer failure is catastrophic. 
Therefore, in this case, the industry has a backup facility to take over the task without wasting too much time.

Storage

Storage is the ability of a computer to store data on itself for future access.

Today, in addition to instant access to data, computers also have a huge capacity to store data in a small physical space.

 
A general computer system has the ability to store and provide millions of characters and thousands of images online.

 
It is obvious from the above discussion that the capabilities of computers exceed the capabilities of humans. 

Therefore, if used properly, computers can increase the efficiency of an organization tenfold.
