And yeah, I'm giving away this marketable idea for free, for whoever would care to pursue it. Just send me, oh, a 2% royalty if you get rich off of it, because it is an idea whose time has obviously come,and indeed, long overdue, even if obvious!

Sure, if I knew what this means; if it actually means something!

Since human thinking can essentially mimic that of computers, albeit at far slower speeds, I'm now wondering whether and how computers can be designed to more closely mimic how humans learn. For anyone who might know, have they got very far with this in AI?

But on a far less grandiose scale, would be nice if they could simply build computers that operate like the experience of riding a car; where something doesn't go wrong about every third time you take the car out on the road. Still say they could and should build back up function into computer, as a core function. If its something everyone basically should be doing on a regular basis, but maybe 5% of us are doing on any regular basis, build the damn thing in to the computer and automate it as much as possible, with options for manual control and over-ride.

If someone tells me its not that simple and much more is involved and its a lot more complex than this, my response would simply be that this would be a failure of imagination, because there is no intrinsic requirement for that sort of intrinsic complexity or the sort of complexity that seems to characterize computers generally, as opposed to, say, the experience of riding a new car. If someone can go out and buy and put in an extra hard drive for backing up, no inherent reason I can see why they couldn't build this in in the first place.
