Computers are an essential part for modern day life. However, to compare the human brain to a computer is like comparing a heart to a CPU. In some ways, computers do outperform people (like very difficult math problems). But a computer can never outperform a person in a lot of ways. For example, free will. You can do whatever you want. For a computer, you need to enter commands through the keyboard and mouse. It has no free will whatsoever. What a computer does is predetermined by algorithms. We are the puppet masters, while the computer is the puppet.

A computer cannot express human emotion, nor does it have the power of creativity. Emotions are one of the most fundamental qualities that define us. How can we be compared to a machine without the machine having such fundamental qualities? Creativity also plays an important role. Without this special quality, there would be no art, advertising or inventions. Without inventions, we would not be where society is today.

No machine can hope to have succeeded like we have. People have built economies, governments, cities, laws, all of which are crucial to civilization and a fair society. A computer, no matter how big or powerful, will always require an operator and cannot achieve such feats.

Think about all the achievements you have made in your life so far. Think about the achievements that mankind has made (everything you have the chance enjoy today). Now look at the computer you are using right now. Can this possibly achieve what the human race has done for hundreds of thousands or years and the accomplishments I have made in a lifetime?
