It's a dirty trick, but you can usually manage to dodge, block, or catch the item. The human mind is one tough act to follow. Efforts to mimic human thought have centered around rule-based logic. The computer in front of you now uses it.
Binary data is stored and manipulated according to a set of preprogrammed rules.
Rule-based systems can be used to create artificial intelligence by programming vast amounts of information into a computer. Relying on this enormous set of data, such a computer is able to mimic intelligence. For example, a computer can help to diagnose a disease by comparing symptoms to those in a database. Also, they can't learn. They can only make connections they've been programmed to make.
