What Computer Can And Can't Do

What Computer Can DO:
1. Work
Lot of people use their home pc's for work-related purposes. work(reports,spreadsheets,.. etc.) or can use your PC for small business
2. Play
Play some cool games,print pictures, listen to your favorite music etc.
3. Managing your finances


What Computer Can't DO:

A computer is certainly not like a brain,anatomically, physiologically and pharmacologically, in other words,physically. But if the theory that cognition is computation is right,then this does not matter, because once you capture cognition computationally, it doesn't matter how you implement it physically: The software can be run on all kinds of different hardware, but it still
has the same capabilities if it's the right software.

Computers cannot DO everything, not nearly everything, that people can. That's certainly true. But what's not obvious is whether that is because of a basic limitation of computation, or just because we haven't come up with a good enough computational theory yet.
