Justify the computer as a system, and discuss the components in its definition.

What is the limit to the application of computer?

Short, practical way to answer this for (and to build on and ): treat a computer as a purpose-built system and show both its makeup and its boundaries.

A good definition: a computer is an organized assembly of components that takes inputs, processes and stores information, and produces outputs under coordinated control to accomplish tasks. Name the components and say what each does in one line: hardware (CPU, memory, I/O devices), software (OS, firmware, applications), data (stored state and inputs), people and procedures (users, operators, policies), and networks/power/environment (connectivity and physical support). Give one short illustrative example (e.g., a smartphone or an ATM) to show the pieces interacting.

For limits, don’t rely on the slogan "no limits" alone. Split limits into categories: theoretical (some problems are undecidable or intractable), physical (energy, heat, latency, speed-of-light effects), practical/economic (cost, availability of data and compute), and social/legal/ethical (privacy, regulation, safety). Point out that creativity expands possible applications, but every application must respect one or more of those constraints in practice.

Exam-friendly structure: define the system, list components with short roles and a concrete example, then enumerate limits by category with one concrete instance each, and finish with a brief balanced conclusion. Keep sentences short and examples concrete — that shows understanding without waffle.

Perhaps you should offer your own thoughts on your quiz questions as a starting point?

Hi Tamba Henry, according to me you can just make a quick search on google or any other search engines for the first question.
And the answer to your second question is that there's no limit of the computer applications because the computer applications depend on our creativiy which has no limits at all.

Hope that helps.
Thanks.
