Limitation of a Computer
LIMITATION OF COMPUTER
Computer has done this and that. Actually this is not the computer which has done this but the user. Despite its various features, a computer does have the following limitations:

a.No Self Intelligence
Today, a computer is able to do a work which is impossible for man. Computers are used to do risky and dangerous work and where sharp actually is needed. But it does not have any intelligence of its own. It works according to the instruction only.

b. No Decision-Making power
Computer cannot take any decision of its own. It does only those tasks which are already instructed to it.

c. No learning power
Computer has no learning power. Once you give instructions to a computer how to perform a task, the very task is cannot perform if you do not give it any instructions for the next time. For example, when you are taught how to solve a problem and it same type of problem is given to you to solve, then you can do it because you have learned how to solve the problem.

C is a programming language which born at “AT & T’s Bell Laboratories” of USA in 1972. It was written by Dennis Ritchie. This language was created for a specific purpose: to design the UNIX operating system (which is used on many computers). From the beginning, C was intended to be useful--to allow busy programmers to get things done.
Because C is such a powerful, dominant and supple language, its use quickly spread beyond Bell Labs. In the late 70’s C began to replace widespread well-known languages of that time like PL/I, ALGOL etc. Programmers everywhere began using it to write all sorts of programs. Soon, however, different organizations began applying their own versions of C with a subtle difference. This posed a serious problem for system developers. To solve this problem, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) formed a committee in 1983 to establish a standard definition of C. This committee approved a version of C in 1989 which is known as ANSI C. With few

    A few years ago, computers were practically unheard of by most people. Today, computers are one of the most powerful tools throughout the world. The world has changed since these machines have come along. They play a huge part in many all of our lives in one way or another. And it’s almost scary to stop and think how much we rely on them on our day-to-day routine. People always tend to seek the easy way out looking for something that would make their lives easier. These machines and tools have given us the ability to do more in less time giving us, at the same time, more comfort. As the technology advances, computers become faster and more powerful. The increased use of these tools, however, would control humans' lives and change the way in which they think.…

    Since the memory of the computers are absolute (either recorded or deleted), computers need no adapting when they are loaded with traditional programs and are asked to run them. However, some smart programs are capable of learning from their mistakes and recording the best solution to any problems it faces. (an example is the household robot,cye ( created by Henry Thorne) which would memories the way around a new house without any help simply by trial and error; banging into walls and barriers and drawing a map of the landmarks it has banged into)…
