What Is Your Opinions! Who Created Computers? by Professorcplus(m): 9:24pm On Oct 07, 2020
As I observe all mankind has achieved over the centuries, especially in the areas of computing, robotics & AI, I am forced to rethink a lot of my childhood stories & the beliefs they formed.

Here's a thread of a "parable" that raises a lot of questions for me

THREAD

1. Within the world of a brand new computer that’s never been switched on, it is “formless, dark and void”! But the moment you plug it to power, you are inadvertently saying

“Let there be light”...And for that computer, “there was light”

2. The new computer is without programs/apps (let's say it's without form); So you install all you need & find that the computer is now fit for use (it is good)

It has brain-like hard disk, eye-like camera, mouth-like speakers; let's just say it was modeled in the image of man

3. Now imagine the computer system attempts to calculate the beginning of “time” without realizing it's limited to when it was “put on”.

It will also attempt to measure the size of the internet which it thinks is the universe & wonder why the "universe" seems to keep expanding

4. It wonders why its creator "heartlessly" discards old computers cos it doesn't understand that as long as memory is “backed up”, the user is hardware agnostic

It then meets brand new computers that know exactly what the old one knew & it thinks the old one is reincarnated.

5. As computers talk to each other, they begin to ask: “If our the creator is “good” why did he allow illness of viruses?"

"Why did he allow bad things on the internet?”

Some of the computers even conclude that “there is no creator since there is no algorithm that explains it”

6. Imagine the computer world describing their creator or their God, what will they say?

Will brands like MacBook agree with Samsung? Or with HP? How will they treat those without brand names?

Will a laptop agree with a desktop?

Who indeed is their creator? A man? or mankind?

7. Will the “computer” in a car agree with the computer in NASA that they are equal as computers made for different purposes by the same creator?

Will a 2020 mac that agree it evolved from the 1975 model? Will it make sense to ask to keep a 1975 mac for 45yrs to get a 2020 Mac?

8. Will they confuse their owner for their creator? Will asking the owner/creator to prove himself by doing something inconsequential make the creator react?

Again, we must ask "Is a specific man or all of mankind the creator of the entire computer ecosystem?"

9. And finally, at the end of the day, as I ask these questions, I have to ask myself this last one:

Could what we call God be more likened to a race, not a single Entity?

Putting aside the usual dogma, what do YOU think for YOURSELF?
