Will Apple and Microsoft or other techies ever team to form a computer who can run the government?


Given the best technicians, programmers, history buffs, etc... there has to be a way for a computer program to be developed ( think HAL in 2001: a Space Odyssey ), which can now run the government with the best solutions in a non-partisan way be developed. Have any Sci-Fi authors thought of the same thing? most of their ideas come true at some point in time!

garfield 		well our government is run based on a democracy, or voting system. It wouldnt be easy to design a computer that could think like a human, then vote...

But if you look at Google, all their stuff is completely self sustained. The only workers are coders for new projects and people to dust out the vents.

Microsoft will be dead in the next 10 years anyway, too many business mistakes the past two years, they let apple get too far ahead and now they have the whole tablet computer issue.

garfield 		Yes, various sci-fi authors have examined this idea, and it always ends badly. I mean, c'mon... You're referencing HAL, but implying that a computer running our lives would somehow be a good thing? Having HAL in charge certainly didn't work out very well for the crew of the Discovery.

Besides, if you get two people together you'll have three opinions. And that's part of the reason why a lot of people think democracy works -- because only the really good ideas will get enough traction to be implemented. (Of course, an idea isn't necessarily good just because it's popular...) What makes you think anyone could ever get everyone to agree to hand over their personal liberty to one machine's singular interpretation of the law?

The machines might take over someday, but it won't be because we want them to.
