       Some philosophers say that computers are not really intelligent. And I agree with them. It takes a very intelligent person to make a computer. Computers can only do the things they are programed to do. If a computer is asked to do something it does not know how to do, things get confusing. Yes humans are programed to society but a human can change their thoughts and actions while a computer cannot it is programed until something is physically changed. For example we can learn a new language by reading and talking. A computer cannot really read. It is just programed to do certain things. Even the Bot A.L.I.C.E, she knew what was the capital of Ukraine but she did not know what was the biggest city in the world or what was 5 times 5. Alice answered 10. A computer would not understand how to do 5 times 5. To a person you can explain (5 sets of apples, 5 apples in each set) you can calculate in your head and understand that but a bot would not unless it is programed to know that. Soon the world will depend on robots only.

  1. I'm not sure computers are as bad at calculations as you say.
