Programming

I do not believe that programming a computer is the same as "programming" a human being. When you program a computer there is no thought, no "content" associated with it. Everything it is programmed to do, it will do. It will do the exact same repetition forever. A human learning something is not exactly as repetitive. The example of brushing ones teeth was used. If a robot was programmed to do this it would do it the exact same way every time. For me, as a human, yes I was taught as a child to brush my teeth every night before bed. And I do brush my teeth every night before bed, however because I am human I have content associated with this. I can decide I no longer like mint flavored toothpaste and switch to cinnamon flavored toothpaste. I can decide I need to use an electric toothbrush instead of a regular one, I can decide that Crest makes better floss that Colgate. I can switch my routine and change the program where as a computer does not have the capabilities to decide its likes and dislikes.
