Humans and Computers

There have been many improvements and improvements since computers were created, and I firmly believe that much more progress must be on computers. Even if computers have their own mind, they do only what people orders them to do. Computers, for example, only look for certain data and solve problems controlled by the hand they are managed. Therefore, it is the reality that computers cannot think on their own that is missing for computer to replace human senses. As previously stated, the computers operate by generating an outcome, but they have to be commanded on what to do (Kim, 2015). Another reality is that computers do not have feelings and emotions. Conversely, for the computers to improve on this area would be for the computers to perform and operate as an automaton for them to have their mind. The computers would still have to be programmed in a way they will be able to function and instructed on what to do. A tremendous achievement that the computers have attained in replacing human senses is the programs, which are programmed and installed that permit the computers to offer to provide data and output. A good example to explain this is the operating system, which is installed on all computers. With the operating system and the programs, the computers efficiently generate the output that the humans have instructed them to produce (Kim, G2015). Nowadays, people are purchasing computers that are already fit and mounted with the operating systems while before, people installed the operating systems after they had bought the computers. It is apparent that without the operating systems computers cannot be able to operate and function like human beings. To be able to store data and process it like a human brain, computers needed processors and memory.Memory refers to any type and kind of data stored up, which can be used to develop and implement particular functions a thing that is similar to the humans and computers. Moreover, humans are imparted knowledge and information from when they are in grade school until in old age. They continuously store everything they have learned in their minds and memory to utilize and implement this information when needful. Similarly, just as with the human memory, computers have memory, which stores all data, and thus permitting them to function and execute particular operations. A perfect and excellent example of a computer memory is the Random Access Memory. Consequently, the RAM in a computer is matched up to the short-term memory in the human being (Verheggen, Barsnes, & Martens, 2014). Despite the fact that computers have come a long way, they still need to be improved and enhanced. At this point, it is vital to ask ourselves what is still missing for storage permitted on computers to store up memory. With the high rates, technology is advancing. It is possible for computers to run out of memory due to the growing amount of videos and gallery humans are having. Although the memory of a computer can store has significantly been increased. It is a tremendous achievement on how the memory of a computer has been improved in the recent years. Anytime consumers purchase computers, and they are given a choice or option of the degree of memory they prefer to buy based on the preference, type, and need of the computer. This differs to when the computers were developed, as during those times there was a moderate amount of memory provided on the computers. To replace the human nervous system and be able to perform, computers needed software.It is evident that computers are continuously changing in a position where they start functioning like human beings. Thereby, for computers to reach a level in which they operate like the human nervous system, they need to be mounted and programmed with software that is created and developed by human beings. For instance, human beings develop the software programs of the computers in a way they command the computers on how they should function (Lalanda, McCann, & Diaconescu, 2013). Apparently, these software programs control and alert the computers on when and how to function. The missing piece of the software of equipment is the fact that the software hardly works on its own. The software needs to be fitted and installed on the computer using some activity of the human beings such as using the hands to connect. The software needs to be developed or generated in a way that it can identify and recognize the situation in which it needs to run on the computer and automatically run without the help of humans. The tremendous achievement that the software of equipment has attained is the computer chips that have been designed, and thus, the computer chips have begun to evolve from1980 until now. Apparently, the computer chips are now able to recognize and track items, which are lost. In addition, these computer chips are now designed in a way they can function and detect specific functions that are being instructed by humans until the moments they will be in a position to operate on their own. Consequently, such invention will depict that the computer fully functions as a human nervous system. To replace human hands, feet, etc., computers needed output devices.It is evident when human beings are in a position to execute change anytime they need to. For instance, when human beings are hungry, they stand up and go to the kitchen to get something to it. Further, if humans need to write, they are in a position to us their hands and write. In addition, the output devices that were required by a computer such as a printer, keyboard, mouse, and printer are instructed just like human beings. Nonetheless, the computers demand human for assistance when utilizing their output devices. Besides, the computers highly depend on the output devices for them to operate efficiently (Elazary, Daniel, & Voorhies, 2015). Conversely, another large output devices required by the computers according to me are the software utilized to safeguard the computers from damages caused by viruses. It is essential for the output of equipment devices to be installed with virus software such as firewalls, which safeguards the computers from all sorts of breakdowns and malfunctions. It is vital to note that a computer affects its output devices when there is a virus, which affects the functions of the computer. To be able to store data and information, networks needed storage devices.It is true that computers need active storage devices to store information and data efficiently. Conversely, the storage devices have evolved from a floppy disk, a CD, a flash disk, to where the information is stored online. Consequently, computer storage devices are now available with easy availability and accessibility for individuals to store their personal information. In the past, people used to store only documents but now they can save videos, and pictures on their computers (Wong, & Salahuddin, 2015). It is imperative to have more available online storage options to store more data as a way of improving on computer storage systems. Humans should aim at having data in places that are easily accessible, where data is kept secure and private. On the other hand, one major challenge that humans face when storing data online is the threat of hackers. Therefore, a tremendous achievement for how the computer storage devices are well fitted and tuned with the computers. These online storage strategies ensure that the information is safely stored and with easy access via the internet. To communicate with other computers, computers needed to be able to network and form an electronic community and electronic society.The most vital and essential component is communication in all elements of life. It is apparent that technology and computers are becoming the face of the future. For this reason, it is imperative to use the channels of communications efficiently. In fact, there are more accessible and available networks, which permits humans to communicate effectively (Kerr, & Hiltz, 2013). Nonetheless, to improve on the computer systems and quickly ensure they are accessible in different countries. Significant accomplishment with the computer networks is how they are accessed quickly and the way these networks are uniting and connecting people from all over the world Can a computer completely replace a human?I firmly believe that computers cannot replace humans entirely. It is because as I had mentioned earlier is that computers do not function on their own and do not have emotions. It is evident that computers need to be instructed by humans to execute their intended operations and functions. In addition, I believe computers can become very close but not to a level of replacing humans. I suppose that computers are used as a way of making humans lazy but make their work easier. Apparently, computers carry out tasks faster than a human being but they still need the assistance of human beings. Opinion about the project and interesting information discoveredI believe that carrying out this project was a revelation to me as it has made me identify and recognize the evolution of computers. In addition, the most interesting information I discovered while undertaking this research is how computers have transformed to a level where they are almost functioning as humans. Although we use computers at home, and at school, it never crossed my mind that concerning all that computers perform and that we significantly depend on computers to carry out our day-to-day functions. Consequently, we have achieved a lot through the transformation and evolution of computers such we can have online classes. Comparison of Computers and HumansHumans ComputersHumans are experimental and good in learning Computers are fast and efficient Humans only store what they can rememberComputers have large storage capacities Humans consider and think concerning new things and always think outside the boxIn addition, computers are reliable and depend on ale Humans make decisions that are psychologically trusted than the computers Apparently, computers never get tired and endure in all circumstances Humans can discern and detect patterns, trends, and abnormalities when visualizing dataComputers are unbiased and consisted when performing their tasks Humans have common sense, and hence they are able to interpret their environments better than computersLastly, computers are capable of combining more information than what humans can handle Humans are movable Computers are immovable ReferencesElazary, L., Daniel, F.
