Do Computers think?
Remember “Data” in the Star Trek TV series? He had no feelings because computers are not supposed to have feelings. But a number of new experiments show that is not so. Computers can be made to show feelings, and feelings are clearly a computer like function of the brain even though the computer may not be aware of the feeling or emotion.
But what about choice? True choice is free will. If choice comes from the brain we would have no free will, and we are nothing but a computer reacting to the world. But if we have a true understanding of our choices then we have free will, and consciousness must be separate from the brain; maybe our soul. To find out lets look at an The Tony Marcel Experiment next.
