Fill in the Blank

[Edwin Pilobello]

Very true, Madhu.  Although, the cutting-edge of robotics is now
incurring into those human domains.  Also, virtual agents employed in
analysing the stock market are capable of "learning" and have rules of
passion.  

Hummm, I wonder if computerized trading has learned the Enron factor?

I think this is another possibility....

"Music is no more in the piano than wisdom is in the computer"

I think qualities like wisdom,logic, intelligence, passion are inherent
to people. The computer enables us to apply these qualities to build
day-to-day solutions.

Thanks,
Madhu

No John, I thought I would have, but I haven't.  We all know it's a
tool, an amplifier, a store of knowledge, a processor.  It's just paper
weight without software.  Yet this "Man of the Year" seems to escape the
one word that separates it from its creator.

I can still write up a course description and express (in about 2.5
column inches) that the class is an introduction to the dynabook
paradigm.  Looks like I'm going to have to give it an inch to frame the
thought.

This sure kept me up last night.  No complaints though, it's been a
delightful thought process.

So far the choices are (in alphabetical order) : abstraction,
creativity, intelligence, knowledge, nous.

I've pondered : truth, spirit and combinations of the above.

Cheers,
Edwin

While you've probably already settled on a name, here is my last crack
at
it:

Music is no more in the piano than abstarction is in the computer.
