 Advantages and Disadvantages of Computer Controlled System rather than
Humans.
Advantages:
The advantages of computer-controlled system are under as:

➢ Reduced Human Error:

When computers are in charge, mistakes made by people,
like forgetting steps or making wrong calculations, happen much less.
➢
Increased Precision and Accuracy:
Computers can perform tasks with a high level
of precision and accuracy, removing the errors that can occur due to human factors such
as fatigue, distraction, or manual limitations.
They can consistently repeat tasks with same level of accuracy, ensuring
reliability in operations.
➢ Enhanced Efficiency and Productivity:
Computers can do things fast and don’t get
tired, so they help get more work done in less time without wasting resources. Computer-
controlled systems can be more effective than human controlled systems. They may
require significant initial investment and maintenance but can result in lower operational
costs, increased efficiency and reduced errors in less time.
➢ Multitasking:
Computers can handle multiple tasks simultaneously, switching between
processes with ease. This multitasking capability is beneficial in scenarios where various
operations need to be coordinated concurrently.
➢ Consistent Performance:
Once programmed, computers perform tasks consistently
without variations. They are not influenced by external factors, emotions or external
pressures, leading to consistent and predictable outcomes.
➢
Speed:
Computers can process information and execute tasks at extremely high speed
much faster than humans. This is particularly advantageous in applications where quick
decision making and rapid response times are crucial.
➢
Data processing:
Computers can process large volume of data quickly and efficiently
rather than humans. They can analyze complex data sets and make decisions based on
algorithms, which might be challenging for humans, to do at the same speed and
accuracy.

➢ Easy Integration and Automation:

Computers controlled systems can easily work
with other systems and technologies, making it simple to start using machines that work
on their own without much help from people. Computers can automate repetitive tasks
freeing up human resources for more complex and creative activities. This can lead to a
more productive and satisfying work environment.
➢ Operations:
Computers-controlled systems can operate continuously without need,
making them suitable for tasks that require constant monitoring and continuous
operations. This is especially beneficial in industries where uninterrupted processes are
essential.
➢ Task complexity:
Computer systems can handle complex calculations, computations
and operations that may be beyond the capacity of human operators. This is particularly
valuable in scientific research, engineering and other fields with critical tasks.

Disadvantages:
The disadvantages of computer controlled system are under as:
➢ Dependency of Programming:
Computer-controlled systems rely heavily on
accurate programming. If the program contains errors or fails to account for certain
scenarios, the system may behave unexpectedly or fail to perform as intended.
➢
Hard to Fix Errors:
Sometimes when a computer makes a mistake, it’s tough to find
and correct the problem correctly.
➢
Increased Risk of Hacking:
If a computer controls a system, it is easier for hackers
to break in and cause harm or steal information.
➢ Inflexibility:
 Computer-controlled systems are designed to follow specific
algorithms and instructions. They may struggle to adapt the unforeseen
circumstances or make decisions outside the scope of their programming.
➢ Cybersecurity Threats:
Computer-controlled systems are susceptible to cyber
threats including hacking, malware and other malicious activities. A breach in security
can lead to unauthorized access, data loss, or disruptions in operations.
➢ Expensive:
Settings up computers to run things can cost a lot of money, including
buying the equipment and paying for people to look after it.
➢ Electricity:
Every part of computer stops working if there is no power because
computers need electricity to work, unlike some tasks humans can do without it.
➢ Overreliance and loss of skill:
Dependence on computer-controlled systems may
lead to a loss of certain skills among human operators. If individuals become overly
reliant on automated processes, they may loss proficiency in manual operation or
problem solving.
➢ Lacks Human Judgement:
Computers don’t think like people; they can’t make
choices based on feelings or understand things that are not programmed into them.
➢ Unemployment concerns:
The wide spread adoption of computer-controlled
systems in certain industries may lead to job displacement, as tasks previously performed
by humans are automated. This can result in unemployment and the need for retraining
workers for new roles.
➢
Ethical concerns:
The use of computer-controlled systems raises ethical questions
especially in situations where decisions impact human lives. Issues such as responsibility,
accountability, and transparency in decision making processes can be challenging to the
address.
➢ Maintenance Challenges:
Regular maintenance and updates are essential for the
proper functioning of computer-controlled systems. Failure to keep systems up to date
can lead to malfunctions, and increased risk of errors.
➢ Lack of Intuition:
 Computers lack human intuition and may struggle to understand
or respond appropriately to unpredictable or novel situations. Human decision-making
often involves intuition, creativity that computers may not possess.
➢ Limited Understanding of Context:
Computers lack a true understanding of
context and may misinterpret situations that humans would easily grasp. This can lead
to errors in decision making, especially in complex or ambiguous environments.
