@kiyotewolf Why? That would be an insane waste of time.

You think the average person understands what a computer is? I am interested in my misunderstanding of this subject. I think simple; like a counter, a hardware device that +1s a group of objects. But computers don't just measure things fast and accurately, they can organize any data an operation requires as long as its linear and repetitive. I start imaging the 'control' and 'feedback' in every kind of work, just remove all the 'bulk' perceptions and +1/-1,yes or no,next move,then stop. Think?
