In fact, I, a dummy who doesn't care, am writing this column on my good, old, reliable Mac. It's not just learning a new system that's causing me all my stress headaches. It can read patterns and duplicate them, it can perform functions in millionths of a second, it can do all sorts of great and wonderful things. But it canNOT think. I don't care what the folks designing the latest software believe about the abilities of computers.
Computers still canNOT think.
I don't WANT the pattern repeated anymore, thank you very much. But try telling that to the computer. Now, if it really could think, we wouldn't be having this problem of the computer doing what IT wants while I'M stuck trying to get it to do what I want. Take a number. Even the other ministers at the conference, when they heard my story, agreed.
