Following Instructions and Computers

For this whole week we have been learning about the algorithms of computers and how they differentiate from the human mind. Computers need details, instructions, and a step by step rule of what they need to do before they can perform a certain action. Whereas humans on the other hand do not need such help and we can do everything by "figuring it out", or using our brains to solve and answer the question to things that the answer may not be given to us. On Friday December 4, we had a class work to do, which was create an algorithm on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, in where our teacher was the computer, and we were the programmers. From that I learned how complicated it is to program a computer and add different scenarios to the programming so the computer doesn't meet a certain situation and doesn't know what to do.
