more on dery

I agree with the idea that the unpopularity of the first class/coach idea is irksome to those in coach and possibly to those in first class -- at least untill the champagne is served. The division reminds us that we are not the absolute top of the food chain that we thought we were.
Concerning the interaction of human tasks and machine tasks, judgement must be firmly placed in the column for human tasks; machines don't have emotion so they can't have judgement. No matter how sophisticated a machine might be, it's function must be to relay information to a human for any decision concerning a judgement. The obvious question is "How will a machine know if a judgement is required." If the machine can reach no logical answer, a jugement must be made, so it then becomes the m achine's duty to inform the human of the situation and viable options.
