Some thoughts - 02-03-2005, 05:49 PM

I also worked with computers some years ago, mainly designing large scale applications.

One of the first things I determined when drawing a comparison between humans and computers was the method of programming. We all understand how computers work where we have a clear separation of code versus data. In order to modify a programs function, you have to change or modify the code.

With organic things, including us, the code is undergoing constant modification for better or worse. Since we are constantly evolving every second of every day, our programs (brains) are never outdated, but may contain a lot of bugs that are not always corrected before implementation.
