                      LIMITATIONS OF A COMPUTER


                  A computer is a versatile machine and performs multiple functions, but it has the
                  following limitations:
                       Lack of decision-making ability: A computer does not have a brain like human
                     beings. It cannot take a decision on its own. It can only perform the tasks that
                     are instructed by the human being.

                       Lack of intelligence: A computer is not gifted with intelligence as human beings
                     are. It has zero intelligence. It can only work as per the instructions given by
                     human beings.
                       Lack of feelings and emotions: Computers are different from human beings.
                     It does not possess  feelings and emotions like human beings. It cannot  do
                     anything on its own.

                       Time taken in planning and programming: We have to first choose the jobs
                     to be computerised, and then proper planning and development of programs
                     can take days, months and sometimes even years.
                       Human Dependency: A computer is a machine that is fully automated once
                     switched on. But it cannot work to switch itself on. It cannot work completely on
                     its own without human assistance.
