The big disadvantage of computers is that they're not human. They can't think for themselves. They can solve problems that are related to math(like graphing or playing checkers) but they can't be original, like in writing a story. They couldn't understand or grade writing, either.

They take up space, but this is improving greatly.

Computer records are very delicate. One nasty solar flare could wipe out the whole earth's digital records.

Well among all the advantages there are a few disadvantages. Computers can only hold so much information and become very slow when roughly 50% full. Computers also can crash depending on the type of crash you can loose all of your information! So make sure you back it all up on a Memory Stick or CD

If you are buying a first computer i would suggest a Desktop as they are more reliable!
