It's that time again, you know the drill, YOSPOS philosophy thread, and the topic is: what are computers, really? What, "makes them tick?" What makes a thing a computer, and others not? Are WE computers, when you think about it...  ?Some links to get us started: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemology http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_computer  Quotes "I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image." -Stephen Hawking  "Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all." -John F. Kennedy  "Computers themselves, and software yet to be developed, will revolutionize the way we learn." -Steve Jobs  "Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service. The iMac is not just the color or translucence or the shape of the shell. The essence of the iMac is to be the finest possible consumer computer in which each element plays together." -Steve Jobs OK, so let's get this started, looking forward to it...
