      Computers are already pretty smart i’m sure they can store and retrieve a lot more information than i can. Who knows what will happen with technology i’m sure computers are going to get even better but not sure how.

      I think a computer will be smarter than the human brain. They don’t make mistakes like humans do! However..a computer will never be able to experience human emotions like love and happiness.. so in this way they will neve be as clever!

      In many ways, they already are. It depends how you define smart…..

      Never, the computer can only be as clever as the person programming it. Computers cannot think for themselves, a human has to instruct them what to do.

    what about computers that have the ability to learn i know this sounds like a horror movie but we live in a world dependant on computers if there were computers smarter than humans they might take over !!!
