Briefly explain the similarities and differences between human beings and computer systems.

1. Both can move:
   Humans can move from one place to another so does computers (robots); they are able to make movements
2. Both can process data into information:
   Computers have processors that can encode and decode data into something meaningful called information. Humans also have the brain that can process, reason (logic) and manipulate any form of data into something meaningful.
3. Both have Memory and Storage media:
   Computers have a Random Access Memory, Cache, Registers, Buffers, hard disks that can keep data temporarily or permanently. Humans have a brain that can do the same.
4. Both can retrieve and transmit data:
   Computers can pass information from one machine to another, humans can pass messages to one another
5. Both have ability to learn:
   Computers have artificial intelligence (a system they are programmed onto to gimmick human intelligence such as learning and prediction). Humans are naturally built to learn using the brain.
6. Both generate heat:
   Both computers and humans generate heat when working. Humans produce their own temperature due to metabolism and other internal organ system while the CPU of a computer generates heat when processing.
7. Both require energy to function:
   Computers require electric current so that it can be able to process while humans require food to provide energy and make them alive and working.
8. Both can make errors:
   Even though computers are credited to be very accurate, their accuracy is relative to truncation and rounding errors. They somehow make errors even though at a lower degree as compared to humans who  are accused of being prone to errors. None of the two can claim to be perfect but a computer is almost precise.
9. Both can breakdown:
   Both computers and humans can breakdown due to malfunction and wear and tear. A human can get old and tired or rather dead, ill health or demotivated. A computer can overheat, wear out or get damaged due to dust, moisture and other environmental factors.
10. Both need each other:
    Computers need humans to program them while humans need computers to solve their daily and complex problems.
