English-Chinese Translation 　 　 　 　 The Difference between a Brain and a Computer 　 　 　 　 　 It is frequently said that computers solve problems only because they are programmed to do so. They can only do what men have them do. One must remember that human beings also can only do what they are programmed to do. Our genes program us the instant the fertilized ovum is formed, and our potentialities are limited by that program. 　 　 　 Our program is so mach more enormously complex, though, that we might like to define thinking in terms of the creativity that goes into writing a great play or composing a great symphony, into conceiving a brilliant scientific theory or a profound ethical judgment. In that sense, computers certainly cant think and neither can most humans. 　 　 　 Surely, though, if a computer can be made complex enough, it can be as creative as we are. If it could be made as complex as a human brain, it could be the equivalent of a human brain and do whatever a human brai
