Unfortunately, with the increasing reliance on the computer, there is indeed a danger that some people may think and act the same way as the computer which is programmed. They may lose the ability to think critically and reactively, and eventually develop some “programmed routine” in their behavior, neglecting the rich subtleties of human feelings.
