Ah... but the computer would just remain 
arrogantly stoic. The processor would spike for a moment, but only to process 
the input. Then it would be on with it's life, without a care in the world for 
us.

The problem is that these XXXX computers get whatever they 
need, without regard for how we feel. And we supposedly 'own' them. 
Ha!

Dogs are way more loyal and compassionate.
