No. Humans are far better than computers. Computers can do computations fast, but it's just because humans programmed them to do so. A computer's capability is just a mere output of a human's mind and creativity. Humans are still the ones who had the intelligence. One thing that sets humans and computers apart is feelings. Computers don't have feelings.

I'm sorry I met to say they are worth nothing if they are unplugged.

no, in fact it is the contrary. computers are just dumb boxes created by humans. if computers are not so dumb why do you think programming is that hard. while compared to teaching a kid, kids learn a lot easily. computers only do things we humans instruct them to do but beyond that they cannot think with their own, they cannot decide for themselves. true that they do calculate stuffs at an amazing speed but what good are all those calculations if they don't have meanings. humans make meanings out of those calculations, the computers merely assist us. so don't worry about computers replacing us, they never will.

Computers are not better than human beings. They are just creation of human beings for expediency and they are really good in so many ways. But leave the computer alone, can it function? Leave alone the human being, even a baby, he/she can do something.

Of course humans are still greater than any of the computers ever invented. Computers are very good at certain things which like you said, they take like nanosecond to solve the most complicated problems, while human could spend the whole day just trying to figure out the problem itself.
But still, computers too have their weaknesses. At least a personal computer has a short lifespan! An average computer guarantee is merely three years. They die before you do. Hehehe.

Plus, you as a human still have the power over your computer. You can lift your computer up above your head and then throw it against the wall. There, you are now at least greater than your computer. :P :P :P

well i dont think so ! well its true that today man is incomplete without computer ! but computer or robots cant do many things which man can ! i think to use better word for discussion is computers lags in artificial intelligence compared to man ! but cant say anything what can be the development in nearby future ! just wait and watch !

Absolutely NO! Computer is nothing and worthless without the human brains to configure it and set it.

I think the computer are not better than human because its can not fell emotions like humans. It would be great if we will introduce computers in our brain.

They are better in terms of mathematical computations but when it comes to decision making and being creative i guess it is the humans there that excel. We might be considered slow in terms of making or designing thing but we do create those including the PCs. So I believe humans still are better than the computers.

No i don think computers are better than humans. Its only as good as wat humans make them. Yes mayb they are more effecient and definately faster dan us, but there is something in computers wich is lacking, so they can never replace us!

I don't think computers are better than human. Who did built the computer in the first place. The computer cannot do anything unless a human being program it to do it. It is a useless piece of machinery without a human intervention. So it is better to be a human rather than to be a computer.

Of course they aren't.
Do you think humans are better than god?
xD
Computers can do a lot of things that humans can't do but computers are only machines... and they can't Think.
Humans thinks to computers and computers works to humans...
I thinks computers are the piece that was missing in humans to become "perfect"!

Depends on what the task is. The computer is way way better than humans in terms of the calculation side. Oh, we all heard that the human brain is like a super-computer, but still I prefer to use Excel's function than doing it myself.
Better for us humans to just take advantge of this fact. Remember that the computer can't decide for itself what to do with itself, it just follows our orders.

Computers are much better than humans,they dun need to rest, they fast, accurate, they never make a mistake unless given bad info,u can take them anywhere with u , and u can do a lot with them and be more productive with ppl not so much. So i say computers are the best, if they could put a computer inside a man than it would be the best thing ever, combination of computer accuracey with the imagination and thinking of man. that would be really interesting

you comment is really interesting. it would be the very best thing that science do if they will be able to do that. thanks.:)
