Interesting take on things. I also find it interesting how computers have advanced astronomically, while mechanical things have stayed relatively stagnant. Where are our supersonic airliners? For that matter, why are airports so bad in the USA?

Restatement of Moravec's Paradox[1].

> Moravec's paradox is the observation in the fields of artificial intelligence and robotics that, contrary to traditional assumptions, reasoning requires very little computation, but sensorimotor and perception skills require enormous computational resources. The principle was articulated in the 1980s by Hans Moravec, Rodney Brooks, Marvin Minsky, and others. Moravec wrote in 1988: "it is comparatively easy to make computers exhibit adult level performance on intelligence tests or playing checkers, and difficult or impossible to give them the skills of a one-year-old when it comes to perception and mobility".
