I think that everyone who thinks that to have intellegence you must have a
computer communication system. Look at what Bert van Dam did, and only using the
RCX. More complicated, independent robots could be built, but everyone sees the
home computer as a barrier.

(...) Yes, I think it is important to differentiate between these three "modes of thought". I think they are among the more important parts of our mind, and that it won't be a bad idea to copy nature into our programs and robots. The reason I think (...)
