- Lack of decision making power - Computer cannot take its own decision. It needs specific instructions to operate. Computers can do only what is designed or programmed to do. It cannot interpret the data it generates and implement any decision that it suggests.
- Zero IQ - Computer is a dumb machine. It possess no intelligence of its own. its intelligence quotient is zero.
- No Heuristics - Heuristics means learning from past experiences. Computer has no heuristics power. If a computer commits an error once and a similar situation occurs again, it will commit the same error again. It cannot learn from its past experiences.
