Computers are labor saving devices (among other things.) People have often feared labor saving devices thinking that they will replace workers. Instead the introduction of these devices has helped humans in every way. Now some people are afraid that computers will replace us in the decision making process. Not likely. They will provide us with better information so that we can make the decisions. When computers do make decisions, it will be the ones computers can do best. (Will traffic flow better if this light turns green right now?) Humans likewise will do what they can do best. John
