What are the advantages and disadvantages of doing things manually rather than a computer ? (and viser verser, advantages of using a computer and not doing things manually)

Many thanks x

Speed is # 1 advantageous reason for me.

Do you mean in the whole vast scope of computerising factories and businesses and submarines and airtravel, or just writing an essay?

you could write your own poetry --or go on t'internet and find a wiser verser- so you could

On computers you can store all the stuff you create and come back to it later, and the layout is consistent. Hand written letters are still nice between friends or on special occasions. Business work is better on computer because spreadsheets will do all your calculations for you if they are set up correctly!

OK
speed
accuracy
economy
efficiency
detachment

it's because i have to write a table of advantages and disadvantages for both, say if a payroll system had to be created the advantages of manual and computing OR creating a website the process of creating it manually and computing advantages and disadvantages.

well you couldn;t create a website without a computer, you could design it by hand and hold the sheet up in front of the screen but noone could look at it.
Payroll can be done manually but it means carrying alot of money around in a big bag as computer transfers between banks wouldn;t happen.
