Computers, Humans and Robots

In the computer world (in the figurative and not literal sense), when people are confronted with problems, they may resort to one of the following remedies: 1) reboot their computer, 2) clean-up and defragment (in the Microsoft Windows world) their hard drive or, 3) seek help from friends and specialists in the software or hardware fields.

Isn't it surprising that, in the human world (again in the figurative sense), when problems arise, people often resort to one of the following: 1) boot-out or ignore the source, 2) soil-up and fragment relations with others, and 3) criticize and ignore help from friends and specialists in areas of relevance to their problems!

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why humans have been striving to develop a world where robots (or artificial intelligence) play a key role in their world.
Effectively they are seeking the best of two worlds!!
