It is no catch 22......silicon is simply faster than nerve impulses. Our cherished icons like chess and Go champions are falling regularly.
Computers extend human capabilities far far beyond what the wetware can handle and integrate into our very plastic brains in a delightful manner. They become now extensions, companions, enhancements and soon enough citizens.
The last sentence is nonsense, though I agree with the rest. The problem is that computers are prone to crashing and breakdown. Another problem might be their lack of experience, for example dealing with overtaking bikes and tractors on country roads. I can think of lots of little problems like that. However the real problem is that humans create such machinery for humans to use. In that sense their capabilities are limited to our imaginations and conflicting desires.
