Viewed in this way,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
computers remain, for now, fundamentally nothing more than tools in the hands of their human designers and users, and not autonomous, independent, self-directed, thinking beings, like people.

It may well be, then, that over the next decade, the butterfly will finally emerge from the chrysalis, and truly parallel computing will take flight.


My-paper
==================================================================================================
The author of the book "Parallel Distributed Processing" (McClelland, 1986) started it by asking "Why are people smarter than machines?" asked more than two dacades later in (McClelland 2009), "Is it still true that people are smarter than machines? And if so: Whay?" and went on to write "computers remain, for now, fundamentally nothing more than tools in the hands of their human designers and users, and not autonomous, independent, self-directed, thinking beings, like people." However he is optimistic enough to conclude the paper writing "It may well be, then, that over the next decade, the butterfly will finally emerge from the chrysalis, and truly parallel computing will take flight. => done
