In order to replace human senses, computers needed input devices for perception and data entry. Since computers have been created, there have been many improvements to where they are now and I still believe there is much more to be done with computers. Although computers have their own brain they still do what humans tell them to do. Computers can solve problems and look up certain data, but it is all based upon what it is told to do by the operator. This leads me to the topic of what is still missing. The piece that is still missing from computers being able to replace human senses is the fact that they are not able to think on their own. As mentioned earlier, can operate by producing outcome, but they have to be told what …show more content…

What could be accomplished to improve this area would be having the software created so that the software would be able to recognize a certain scenario and be able to identify that scenario and run to fit the needs of that scenario. What I consider to be a huge achievement for computer software are the computer chips being designed. These computer chips have been evolving since the 1980s and continue to improve decades later. They have come a long way to be able to track and identify items that are lost. These chips that are being create are able to detect and perform certain functions given by humans, but the day when they will be able to fully operate on its own (for example, telling a car how to drive on its own and get it to a location with no human intervention). That will be the day when the computer fully operates as a human nervous system. http://www.technologyreview.com/featuredstory/522476/thinking-in-silicon/ In order to replace human hands, feet, etc., computers needed output devices. When humans want change, they are able to do it on their own. If they want get something to eat, they can get up and walk to the refrigerator and get something to eat. If they need to take notes, they are able to use their hands and write down what they wish. The output devises needed by a computer such as monitor, keyboard,
