People have to remember (be taught) that computers are INCREDIBLY
DUMB!!!!!!!  They only do exactly what they are told to do.  That includes
thinks like, "Turn the missile around at full thrust 100 feet off the
ground and slam it into the launch pad".  It will always comply with one's
wishes.  Think in terms of being a god over the thing - you can always turn
it off.

Well, now that the architectural licensing exam is entirely on computer,
I'm
beginning to  realize that eventually NCARB will license software instead
of
people. After all, people already think computers do all the work.  The
only
hard part is to get the insurance companies to provide errors and
ommissions
insurance  on your software.
