Would you agree that humans are just like computers?

Question

The smallest mistakes are stored in the memory.

Oh dear! I was just having a bit of fun and nearly all of you have misunderstood me.
Grodno you at least know me so well! lol x

Answer 1

In that case my wife is a super computer as she can remember every little fault back to Noah's ark, down to the clothes I was wearing at the time, well at least I was wearing clothes, where would I be without her.

Answer 2

As a programmer, I'd say no we're not like computers very much. While some things are similar, the very way each processes and stores information are quite different, and there are major differences in decision making and computational power as well. I'd say that the fundamental processing paradigm is quite different better the two.

Answer 3

Hon, my hard drive crashed years ago, My Bios has problems in the morning, my RAM is out the window(s), my network connections have aged to the point that they no longer work, and my usP output has slowed down to about .5 bytes per minute! I am operating on a Windows 3.1 Operating system in a MS Vista world! Need I say more? Peace and love, Goldwing

Answer 4

Humans store everything that they have learnt. The problem is access, and then computers win.
Since this is the senior site, my advice is to access your 'computer' (brain) as often as possible to keep it active.
My computer (electronic) has its off-days - just like me. But it can't actually think for itself and it doesn't 'feel' - no matter what I threaten it with.
Just as well really, since I don't use to 'bad' words to other humans, but I call my computer all the names under the sun - especially when it decides to have a fit of the sulks and ignores my printer.

Answer 5

Definitely except for those poor souls who never go in and clear out the cache and stack files and then everytime they interface with the same "computer" they shift through all the redundant stack files and trot them out one at a time to revisit previous interactions with this computer and then their whole processing system develops a major glitch and malfunctions, and the next thing you know they are so riddled with malware and other crap they are dead in the water, locked up, completely shut down and unable to process new information.

Answer 6

The programming at times is just as screwed up -- seen more folks get caught up in a tight loop and ditto ditto ditto with the smallest and largest malfunctions. Humans program computers and are stupid enough to blindly follow computeer directions..................we ARE a lot like computers.

Answer 7

No matter how hard man tried to import all the information that each one of us knows as individuals, into cyberspace, we will never be able to even come close to the artistry that God has been able to create in each of our brains.

I do have an interesting recipe for a brew that includes the human brain. It tastes like chicken.

Answer 8

There are some basic similarities, but way it should be stated would be "computers are like humans." It would make sense that our machines would resemble us in form as well as function over time, computers are aproximations of human brains (but very simple and inflexible,) and soon there will be androids (robots or genetically designed servants) that resemble us or other animals.

Answer 9

I agree. Some of my mistakes take me a couple of days to get over, but silly ones I did when much, much younger sometimes come back to haunt me. How stupid is that? I would like to be able to clear some of my memory banks without becoming senile.

Answer 10

To quote KMFDM
our music is sampled, it's totally fake, it's done by machines because they don't make mistakes :)

computers don't make mistakes, it's the users or in rare cases, the programmers of software.
