Original Source Material: While computers are very good at certain tasks, such as diagnosing equipment malfunctions or performing mathematical functions, they are morons at doing things your dog or cat can do, such as recognizing you and acknowledging your presence. Computers lack qualitative intelligence, that is, the ability to identify those features that make each of us unique and different. Source: Frick, T. (1991). Restructuring education through technology. Bloomington, IN: Phi Delta Kappa Educational Foundation.
A) Computers can do some things and not others. They do not have the ability to identify those features that make each of us unique and different, but they are very good at diagnosing equipment malfunctions or performing mathematical functions.
