So, google dropped the ball on Saturday (see here)
I didn't notice, but then again I have been away for the weekend.
It was refreshing to see the term "human error" used for their mistake. But then again, when exactly does a computer make a mistake? But, does the term, "computer error" hold any merit whatsoever?
Well, no, it doesn't. A computer is not capable of individual thought. It can process, "Yes," "No," or various degrees of "Maybe." Ok, a little general, but I'm not writing a thesis here.
A computer cannot make mistakes, it can only do as it is told, it is our electromechanical and electronic slave (for what difference there is.)
So, what was the BBC's point? That those in Google are still mere mortals, or that finally someone in IT has finally admitted a mistake?
