[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 57185"] Longups HAd a discussion with the supperviser the other day. HE asked why I was taking the 4 lane from one pick up stop to another about 5 miles away. The way I was going was about 8 miles at a speed of 55-65 MPH, but all four lane with only one redlight and one interchange. The short way involved 6 redlights, 25-35 MPH zones and 49 intersections. All at 3:50-4PM, rush hour for Eastman employees leaving the plant which is on the edge of the travel path both ways. YEah yeah yeah, the shorter way is usually the best. But the safest and fastest is the four lane, by about 6-7 minutes. But for me the big winner here is safest. How will your computer make that decision? One that varies from day to day, hour to hour. There is only so much "If this then that, or if this and that then something else needs to occur" that you computer guys are willing to put into the system. As for your computer teaching you new ways to get to work, sorry you need the help. After 31 years, I can get there in record time each day every day all by my self. You really have a hard time accepting that even in chess, humans can and will allways beat the computer the majority of the time. Only with limmited minds and a limmited understanding will the created be better than the creator. Machines can do things faster and more economical in some cases than humans. But thinking and responding to what is going on around you is not one of them. That is why I am out there hustling packages instead of the deluxe version of R2D2. And no matter how you want to sugar coat the facts, that is reality. d [/QUOTE]
