Original Source MaterialBecause computer systems exhibit performative intelligence, we can teach them to do tasks. It is this very capability that makes it possible to use computers as an interactive medium for instruction and learning. It is interaction which sets computers systems apart from other media such as books, television, and film. However, presentday computers interally do not understand the culturally bound meanings of the messages which they manipulate during these interactions b cause such computers lack qualitative inteligence.References:Frick, T.(1997) Artificativ intelligeret Butoring systemsi what computers can and can't know.

Computers can be programmed to do things. This feature of computer systems maies them an alternative medium for instruction and learning. However, he claims that computer systems lack the ability to understand the meaning of messages they send and recevere during interaction with students and teachers.ReferencesFines, T.(1997) Artifclaily intellyent heloring systemis. what eamputers can and can't know.
