Computers should never have acquired the exalted status they now have. Fascinating and
invaluable as they are, even the most advanced have less brain power than a three-year-old.
But, they do, score on single-mindedness. The three-year-old uses his brain not only to think
but also to do tasks like seeing, hearing and running about, which need incredibly rapid and
sophisticated electromechanical interactions we too run on electricity. However the computer
just sits there and sends spacecraft to the moon or re-organizes the world banking system-which
is very much easier. That's why man's dream of robot servants is still a long way off.
