Except that since Turing, Church, Godel ... we know that we don't know
what is a computer. There are no theory capable of completely
describing what they can or cannot do.
Remember I insist that comp entails we cannot even know which machine
we are, although we can bet on some substitution level in front of the
doctor (for the worst or for the best).
The discovery of computers makes us much more ignorant.
Computers will make our lives much less easy. Hopefully more funny too
but it depends in part from us (the human, here).
Kind Regards,
Bruno
