Computers the New Human Being ?

        I would have to agree with John Searle that computers are not really intelligent, they just stimulate intelligence. Although computers are programmed to respond to different commands and we as human beings are to 'programed' to perform certain task, but this type of 'programing' in humans is not the same as in a computer programed to respond to different comands. computers are intelligent because humans set them up to be that way in order to make things easier for us. i see how they both can be compared to one another and i do believe that society does in fact 'program' us to be a certain way and our location in the world has a different way of doing so. We as human beings develop our intelligence in our daily lives by doing difficult things like learning new languages and more simple things like walking intelligence isn't programmed into us like it would be in a computer.
