A computer will solve problems in exactly the way it is programmed to , without regard to efficiency , alternative solutions , possible shortcuts , or possible errors in the code . Computer programs that learn and adapt are part of the emerging field of artificial intelligence and learning . 2 . Four reasons why information systems are so important for business today includes : - Capital Management - Foundation of doing business - - Strategic opportunity and advantage 3 .

Multiprocessor and multi - core ( multiple CPUs on a single integrated circuit ) personal and laptop computers are now widely available , and are being increasingly used in lower - end markets as a result . 5 . There are many types of computer architectures : ? computer vs Chemical computer ? Scalar processor vs processor ? Non - Memory Access ( NUMA ) computers ? Register machine vs machine ? Harvard architecture vs von Neumann architecture ? Cellular architectur e
