Pont To Ponder 2

Author: Oliver A. /

One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man. ~Elbert Hubbard, The Roycroft Dictionary and Book of Epigrams, 1923

I think that this quote, even though it might be a bit enthusiastic, is true.
It also states that the machine isn't better then a extroardinary man, because the extraordinary person is someone, idealy, who has has a flexible but yet stern mind, fixed and right values, a brilliant mind and a wonderful way for turning ideas to reality. An extraordinary man is a completely theoretical idea which isn't physically palpable for the Human being, unless you believe in God. As for a computer doing a job for 50 people i really doubt this isn't an idea of strenghts and smart as of time. It doesn't take a man 1 second to find the 1million digits of pie but it would take him approximatley a month. I think that in the end this quote is a very interesting one, one which leads into the depths of imagination and takes you to rationalize and think it over.
