| Summary: | Decisions are part of human life and traditionally, have been taken in based on a series of analyzes and options. This takes time, has a cost and demands cognitive capacity. In Computer Science is worked with algorithms, a technique that allows computers to make decisions based on the millions of calculations performed in milliseconds. This could be an option for humans to decide, without having to invest the time or pay the costs it takes to use the brain to process information. Algorithms can be structured to be used in daily life, so that people can focus to other issues, possibly more important, that require time, money and brainpower. This article presents a reflection in this regard and explains why algorithms are important for human life. |
