    Hi Friend - I'm back at least for a while - some may say great, and others may rmark more trouble on the way.

    During the time that I have been away from the Vine I have done some reading. A worth while read I believe is a book by Michio Kaku titled Visions. The very interesting subject of if in the coming years will it be possible that computers could feel joy, pain and other human characteristics such as thinking on their own which would include being creative.

    Thanks for the suggestion, Ira! I'll look it up. Always glad to see you.

    I found it in Vanderbilt's Science library:

    What makes Michio Kaku's vision of the future of science so compelling and authoritative is that it is based on the groundbreaking research already underway at leading laboratories around the world. Weaving interviews with over 150 scientists - several of them Nobel laureates - into a rich, inspiring narrative, Dr. Kaku reveals the growing consensus among key scientists about how science will likely evolve through the early, middle, and late years of the twenty-first century.
