remember why it cannot do
such things?
A computer cannot think and
produce data by itself.

It needs a user. A user is someone


who will give the data it needs. The
user will also provide the
instructions that the computer
needs to process the given data. It
will then produce the needed
output.
A computer cannot determine
whether the type of instructions
entered into it is right or wrong.
When a computer receives data, it
uses sets of instructions to process
the data. It cannot detect errors in
the data. Therefore, if a user enters
incorrect input, the computer will
also give incorrect or
unrecognizable output.

knows how to fix computers to
check it.
