When machines learn to feel

Yesterday, I changed my blog template to increase the size of main post column. The thing is that, I changed, published it and after that I wanted to change again. So I went back to setting to change again and again. One thing made me smile is blogger program never mind to do whenever I ask. If it is man, that service guy would say… “Damn!!!! He comes again. @#$!&%^!!!!!” ………… Yeah… This is the good part of machines. They always obey; never have bad intentions towards you. What if one day…
