Everything is the result of a failed relationship. Before Adam and Eve sinned, everything was the result of a good relationship, but since they sinned everything under heaven has been going downhill.
Adam and Eve failed. They failed themselves. They failed God. They failed their brains. And so on. They failed God by eating from the forbidden apple tree. They failed the tree. They failed the apple. God punished Adam and Eve by giving them more failed relationships. He gave Adam a failed relationship with the earth and crops. Adam failed the earth. To Eve he gave a failed relationship with her mate. Eve failed Adam. They were failures. Or so it goes.
Since failures beget failures, Adam and Eve begot many failures who begot many more failures who begot . . . Well you get the picture; yup, thanks to the joy of sex and failed relationships, this failed planet was full of failures. But, as if people failing each other and everything constantly wasn't bad enough, their brains were de-evolving at a surprisingly high rate of speed. As a result of, of course, failed relationships.
Human beings typically consider things to be always progressing, always improving. Most humans consider the invention of the wheel as a positive step forward in the ever-evolving industrialization of the human race, but it was actually a step backwards. Hey, it's not the wheels fault. Thanks to the mother and father of civilization the human brain has been steadily de-evolving from the state at which God originally created it. The last ever human brain was not at all up to snuff. In fact it wasn't worth the dust it was created from.
The de-evolving brains often turned to their scientists for reassurance that the human race was progressing nicely. The scientists always reassured the other de-evolving brains that the human race was indeed progressing along nicely, so no one ever suspected that their brains were de-evolving. The scientists failed the human race. Actually the scientists possessed the most de-evolved brains of the entire human race. Who were the least de-evolved you might ask? The de-evolving brains had special titles and gave them extra special treatment reserved for exclusively for de-evolving brains of their stature. They received such distinguished titles as: retard, loco, psycho, dumb, slow, and lawyers. Not many de-evolving brains liked these other de-evolving brains. They tried to ignore them, but that didn't work, they eventually they locked as many of them away as possible. The de-evolving brains were mostly satisfied; there were still a few lawyers running around, but it was a small price to pay.
The de-evolving brains continued to de-evolve, so far that they had to create machines to think and solve problems for them. The de-evolving brains loved these machines and worshiped them unceasingly.
Relationships were failing everywhere. The unquenchable appetite of divorce was feeding avariciously on all the failed relationships. As a result of these failed relationships came the invention of the computer. This machine was so intelligent and powerful that it took years before anyone could find a use for it and many more to find a practical use. These first computers were the size of a house, weighed tons, and could add, subtract, multiply and divide. Then one day one of the de-evolving brains invented the integrated circuit, which made computers smaller, faster, cheaper, and smarter. So naturally the de-evolving brains fell in love with these machines, which made their makers very happy . . . and rich. The de-evolving brains required, among other things, pieces of multi-colored paper to make them happy.
The computer manufacturers seen potential for their machines in everything from toilets to televisions, but they had to convince the other de-evolving brains that computers were good for more than just complex math problems and mere mindless entertainment. They had to convince them that computers would make them more evolved and industrialized. Time went on and the de-evolving brains began to realize the impact that computers had already made and were yet to make on the world. They were standing on the edge of tomorrow, but they needed a push.
That push would come from a computer named Deep Blue. Deep Blue was a computer whose only purpose was to play chess and play well enough to defeat the world champion chess player, a de-evolving brain named Dale Kasparov. Man vs. Machine, Creator vs. Creation, the newspaper headlines touted. The match had been set Deep Blue was to play the world champion chess player. After several games it was dead even with two stalemates and with Deep Blue having won once and Kasparov having one win. Suddenly much to the surprise of the world, Kasparov conceded defeat and forfeited. Kasparov failed. Thus was the beginning of the dawn of a new civilization.
This victory prompted the de-evolving brains to believe what they secretly and fearfully believed for years, that the human race had met its match, that computers were indeed smarter than humans, that computers were taking over the world. With this victory under their belt, computer manufacturers world wide decided it was their duty to cater to the needs of the human race and establish a new god, since all the former golden calves such as the radio, television, rock n roll, democracy, and church were beginning to become tarnished. The de-evolving brains were more than willing to jump on this new bandwagon and give up their old tarnished gods for this new shiny one.
Accepting their complete and utter clumsiness, short comings, and just plain stupidity and ignorance in doing just about everything, the de-evolving brains gave up and decided to let the computers do it for them. New products were coming out daily that would relieve the de-evolving brains of the burden of having to do something that a computer could do faster and better. Gone were the days of employers using human labor. No longer did they need to worry about such things as keeping workers happy, pay raises, or loss of production due to restroom breaks. They now had computers whose only purpose for existing was to do whatever the employer demanded, without fail.
Most de-evolving brains agreed that things were better this way. The entertainment industry was at an all time high and crime was at an all time low, especially since judges were replaced by law intelligent computers. Juries were soon similarly replaced. All agreed that overall the world was a better place for all, save the Amish. "Further proof that the human race was progressing nicely", they said.

wow, this a kinda strange but I will say this, computers might have beat one man but the difference between a computer and a man is that a man can learn and create new things meaning we could easily defeat it if we tried and that we also created it makes us superior to it..Am I right?

For now. . .
ave you ever watched the movie "Colossus: The Forbidden Plan"?

What if computer became capable of learning?

What if we allowed them to take over?


Thanks for reading. drinker

the thing about humans is our ability to evolve and react to different settings, a computer cannot compare to the natural ability of a humans ability to mutate and become adapt, no computer could ever out wit the best human..Its impossible, there is allways someone smarter then you so that means your programmed computer will be obsolete before you design it

Until a computer starts programming and designing computers. Computer programs can evolve it has been done in experiments. They have to be programmed to do so, but even life has some form of evolutionary programming be genetics, or design.
