Computers and Humans
Initially, computer invention focused on complementing and replacing human functions. Computers required many components to imitate these functions. This project
requires you to create a research paper that explores each of these initial challenges of computer invention. While there is no page requirement for this project, most
papers that adequately cover all topics and requirements are 4 to 5 pages in length (double-spaced text). In order to replace human senses, computers needed input
devices for perception and data entry. What is still missing – what can still be accomplished to improve this area? What do you consider a huge achievement? In order
to be able to store data and process it like a human brain, computers needed processors and memory. What is still missing – what can still be accomplished to improve
this area? What do you consider a huge achievement? In order to replace the human nervous system and be able to perform, computers needed software. What is still
missing – what can still be accomplished to improve this area? What do you consider a huge achievement? In order to replace human hands, feet, etc., computers needed
output devices. What is still missing – what can still be accomplished to improve this area? What do you consider a huge achievement? In order to be able to
permanently store data and information, computers needed storage devices. What is still missing – what can still be accomplished to improve this area? What do you
consider a huge achievement? In order to communicate with other computers, computers needed to be able to network and form an electronic community and electronic
society. What is still missing – what can still be accomplished to improve this area? What do you consider a huge achievement? In addition, include the following
information in your paper: Insert a table that compares human and computer advantages in each area. Use MS Word 2016 to create the paper, and use MS Excel 2016 to
create the table. Copy the table from Excel 2016 and paste it into the Word document. Do not insert your table as an image. Can a computer completely replace a human?
