Human versus computers

Okay so I kind of had some trouble understanding exactly what the writer was driving at with this topic. Basically I took from it that humans are obviously more complex, with error, and has the generations progress it will take longer for us to evolve into well-educated citizens. Duh! That is stating the obvious to me. And I know the writer went deeper into this but basically was resorting back to saying the same thing. And for the record, off the subject, (because I'm constently hearing this now), computers are not and will not ever become smarter than humans in my opinion. We created them, we are the one's that put the information and knowledge into them. We can add more knowledge, fix its errors, and we can take its knowledge away! And those things alone will make us forever smarter than technology. But having emotions, neurons, social interactions, etc. on top of all of that makes us forever on top!

I agree that writer was confusing. I hope that we would never come to a point when computers are smarter than us, but I can't help but wonder. You know all those movies about computers developing their own logic and ethics and totally messing things up (IRobot, Eagle Eye). I hope that would never happen but I can't help but wonder, that would be scary.
