Today in my "Metaphysics and Consciousness" class we had a discussion about computers, their potential consciousness, awareness, knowledge, and things of that nature, and whether we will ever build a robot that we can call a "person."
It is my opinion that computers are not conscious, are not people, and never will be. Despite technological advancements, there are just certain things that set us people apart from them, such that the gap can never be bridged. Now, for my nugget of wisdom:
Computers may not be people, but they sure are much more reliable. Computers don't ever make you miserable.
