Computers vs. Humans

Since the development of computers, humans have been compared to them. Some people would say that computers are smarter than humans while others would argue that humans are still smarter than computers.

What are some advantages a computer has over humans?

One, a computer can process information faster. A computer usually takes just a few seconds or even less than a second while humans take longer to process information.

Two, a lot of people say that computers have more memory than humans. There are still people who would argue using the myth that humans only use around 10% of their brain and therefore has technically more memory than even the biggest memory available for computers these days (there is no scientific evidence to prove this).

Three, computers are said to be more reliable than humans. After all, humans commit human error.

Four, humans get distracted, tired, and hungry—the computer doesn’t experience any of these.

And five, computers retrieve data more reliably. Humans don’t always have reliable memory—we tend to forget things.

What are some advantages humans have over computers?

First, humans can think for themselves. They have reasoning unlike computers which are dependent on its users.

Second, humans have the ability to decide what it wants to do. It can think of whether an action is wrong or right while a computer only does what its users make it do.

Perhaps, it is best to say that humans are better at doing other stuff than computers in the same way that there are things a computer can do better than humans.
