Fig. 4.4.11 Manual analysis is appealing for small, one time only projects.The great appeal of doing analysis manually is that no infrastructure is required. The only
thing that is required is a human being that is capable of reading and analyzing
information. So, a person can start right away to doing analysis of nonrepetitive
unstructured information.
The great drawback of doing analysis like this manually is that the human brain can only
absorb so much information. There is no contest between the amount of information a
computer can absorb and digest versus what a human can absorb and digest.
Fig. 4.4.12 shows that when it comes to reading and storing information in a database, a
computer far outstrips even the brightest of human beings.
