Man is not machine...

...and never will be
following another person's track with this one
Recently, a computer competed on Jeopardy and won, making people believe that they will sometime be replaced.  This seems ridiculous to me, because computers cannot possibly do everything a person can do.  They cannot "hand-make" anything.  If something goes wrong, they have a limited capacity to fix a problem.  They cannot make their routines better.  All things that humans can do.  I don't care about how far robots get because I know they will never be able to think and reason like real humans do.  You can disagree all you want, and I may as well be wrong, but guess what--I'm still right.
