Lesson on Things Computer Cannot Do for Primary 1

Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Basic Science and Technology, Computer Studies. In our previous lesson, we learned about Things Produced With a Computer. Today, we’re going to learn about Things Computer Cannot Do.

Objectives

By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:

• List two things computers cannot do.
• Explain why computers have limitations.

Things Computer Cannot Do

Computers are amazing machines that can do many things, but they are not perfect. There are some things that computers cannot do, no matter how advanced they become.

What are some things computers cannot do?

Some of the things computers cannot do include:

1. Feel Emotions: Computers can process information and respond to commands, but they don’t have feelings like humans do. They can’t experience happiness, sadness, anger, or love. blank">SHORTCODE1]
2. Think Creatively: Computers are great at following instructions, but they can’t come up with new ideas or solve problems in a creative way. They rely on humans to provide them with instructions and data. blank">SHORTCODE2]
3. Make Decisions: Computers can analyze data and make recommendations, but they can’t make decisions based on their own understanding or judgment. They need humans to tell them what to do. blank">SHORTCODE3]
4. Understand Context: Computers can understand words and sentences, but they often struggle to understand the meaning behind them. They need humans to provide context and interpret information. blank">SHORTCODE4]

Evaluation Questions

Now that you’ve learned about things computers cannot do, let’s see if you can answer these questions:

1. What is a computer?
2. List two things that computers cannot do.
3. Why do computers rely on humans?
4. Why is it important to recognize the limitations of computers?

Conclusion

Remember, computers are powerful tools, but they have limitations. They can’t do everything that humans can do. It’s important to understand these limitations so we can use computers effectively and appreciate their capabilities. Keep exploring and learning about computers! See you in the next lesson!
