"Senses, reflexes and
learning mechanisms – this is what we start with, and it is quite a
lot, when you think about it. If we lacked any of these capabilities at
birth, we would probably have trouble surviving.
But here is what we are not born with: information,
data, rules, software, knowledge, lexicons, representations,
algorithms, programs, models, memories, images, processors, subroutines,
encoders, decoders, symbols, or buffers – design elements that allow digital computers to behave somewhat intelligently. Not only are we not born with such things, we also don’t develop them – ever."
