Horses cannot count. Even though you have probably heard about the horse that knew math, it isn't true. The horse picked up on signals people unconsiously gave, and the horse was smart enough to understand them. Long before people knew about these signals, the owners of these horses were killed because they were "witches".
No, counting uses abstract abilities in the human brain. Plus, animals have no reason or need to count (anything).
However, humans can train some animals to do tricks that make it APPEAR the animal is "counting". But it is only from training, rewards, and repetition. Repetition involves repeating the trick or tricks in exactly the same order. But if you asked the same animal to "count" something, the animal would fail because it was not trained to do that trick.
Speed, Reliability, Storage Capacity and ProductivityComputers of all sizes have common characteristics -- speed, reliability, storage capacity, and productivity. Computers are the foundation of business, travel, and leisure life today. Computers provide the processing speed required by all facets of society. The quick service we expect at the bank, at the grocery store, on the stock exchange, and on the Internet are dependent on the speed of computers. Can you imagine our world without computers?Computers are extremely reliable as well. Most errors are caused by humans, not computers. Computers are capable of storing enormous amounts of data that must be located and retrieved very quickly. The capability to store and retrieve volumes of data is at the core of the Information Age.
