I am no computer
I'm sure we've all been wondering if the computer's CPU capacity will ever surpass the brainpower of humans (not necessarily the ability to feel, which seems like another subject entirely). Well, last time I checked, I couldn't multiply 874 by 9345 in less than a second. I'm just messing around there, but computers are definitely more skilled in certain areas, such as that monstrous arithmetic up above. Cognitive abilities and learning on the spot is an area seen, but not conquered by computers, and its pretty easy to tell that us humans have the upper-hand on that contest. I'm all for smart computers (like the ones made up of clustered processors dubbed "super computers"), but in the end I just hope Terminator doesn't happen, especially if Schwarzineger is dead by then.
