ENTRY 2. Strengths: My computer Strength and Weakness.
Computer models can allow for quickly testing many different kinds of
scenarios and conditions without needing to test all those possibilities in the
real world. In fact there are some things that are infeasible to test in the
real world.Weather modeling is a great example. We can’t really control the weather
to any large extent, and attempts to do so would be expensive and likely
unethical. Instead computer models are built up by studying historic data, and
then refined as new data comes in, and as the model is used to make predictions
that are then later verified.Weaknesses:
Computer models are only as good as the data used to create them. And even if
you end up with a really good computer model, it’s arguable that it would
eliminate the need for practical testing. They can reduce the need,
significantly even, but for computer models of events or systems that don’t
have regular sources of data to verify against, you still need to expend
resources on real life experiments to verify your model.Additionally really complex models may
be restricted to only being able to run on super computing clusters, which may
have limited availability. One also presumably needs people who know how to maintain and update the models
as well.
