Technology vs The Human Brain?

Whilst the capacity of computers can out process a human individual(s) brain i.e. you can use multiple processors to speed up the result of the answer and therefore the processor can be quicker is it cleverer?

I think technology / processors will never be cleverer than a human brain as I feel they can only be as clever or fit for purpose if you like as the individual(s) who created them (and there are some very talented and clever programmers, software designers, engineers etc in today’s technology field) nor sometimes should they replace humans as they sometimes do ( quick checkouts in supermarkets take jobs away from individuals and they cannot give you a smile, you can’t ask it a question and more often than not they are being repaired ).

Here are my reasons for thinking this….

It’s a human, an individual or team of individuals that write the logical statements, algorithms, software for the processor to process the information it receives.

If a processor learns or becomes better it is because an individual or team of individuals, humans have created a logical pattern for it to know how, when, which process to follow.

A processor, system can only therefore be as clever as the individual or team of individuals that created it in the first place.

Technology increases as individual(s) …humans…create more robust, sophisticated, analytical software and systems with higher and greater processing capacities.

Sometimes however that same technology can stop us as an individual(s) from using our own built in processor which is far greater, complex and sophisticated than any system an individual(s) will build….. sometime’s technology can make us lazy….

The human brain…

Use it, it’s yours and no-one can ever take it away from you…..!
