But we must think about the meaning of this development.

Formerly, a program named "Shredder" could pound us on a home "computer", and
our egos could live with that.  After all, "Shredder" sounds powerful and
"Computer" sounds powerful.

But now, even our toaster and our blender can beat us at chess.  I can hear the
household appliances now, huddled in a corner laughing at us.  How long until
they have us doing their bidding!
