People are good at intuition, living our lives. What are computers good at? Memory.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The computing world is very good at things that we are not. It is very good at memory.
As a science fiction fan, I had always assumed that when computers supplemented our intelligence, it would be because we outsourced some of our memory to them. We would ask questions, and our machines would give oracular - or supremely practical - replies.
The value of having a computer, to me, is that it'll remember everything you do. It's a databank.
I met with amnesiacs and savants, educators and scientists, to try to understand what memory is, why it works, why it sometimes doesn't, and what its potential might be.
The brain-mind is not a computer, and regarding it as one has led to a variety of theoretical dead ends.
People don't understand computers. Computers are magical boxes that do things. People believe what computers tell them.
I thought of computers as very low class. I thought of myself as a pure mathematician and was interested in partial differential equations and topology and things like that.
Computers are magnificent tools for the realization of our dreams, but no machine can replace the human spark of spirit, compassion, love, and understanding.
Computers allow us to squeeze the most out of everything, whether it's Google looking up things, so I guess that tends to make us a little lazy about reading books and doing things the hard way to understand how those things work.
In terms of the brain, you can in a crude way think of the human brain as a computer.
