Abstract
Identify some situations where a computer might be more appropriate than a person for carrying out a task and where not.

Some examples include:
Corporate data processing including functions such as sorting, selecting, summarising
Analysis of census and other demographic data
Administration of the national revenue system
Actuarial calculations
Statistical analysis
Corporate accounting functions
Creation of animations for films
Weather forecasting
Forensic analysis such as DNA and fingerprint matching
