No Computer Has Ever Been Designed That Is Ever Aware Of What It's Doing; But Most Of The Time, We Aren't Either.

A Computer Is Like A Violin. You Can Imagine A Novice Trying first A Phonograph And Then A Violin. The Latter, He Says, Sounds Terrible.

Neither Is A Violin, Or A Typewriter, Until You Learn How To Use It.
