Which of the following statements describes a limitation of using a computer simulation to model a real-world object or system?

• Computer simulations can only be built after the real-world object or system has been created.
• Computer simulations only run on very powerful computers that are not available to the general public.
• Computer simulations usually make some simplifying assumptions about the real-world object or system being modeled.
• It is difficult to change input parameters or conditions when using computer algorithms.

A programmer is writing a system that is intended to be able to store large amounts of personal data. As the programmer develops the data system, which of the following is LEAST likely to impact the programmer's choices in designing the structure of the system?

• Maintaining privacy of the information stored in the data set. 
• Scalability of the system. 
• Structuring the metadata of the information for analysis.
