People and Computers

Some philosophers, including John Searle, say that computers are not really intelligent. Rather, they just simulate intelligence. However, it could be argued that, just as computers are programmed to respond in different ways to different commands, so human beings are 'programmed' by society, and education, to perform certain tasks. For example, we are programmed to do complicated things like speak a language, as well as more simply things like brush our teeth.
What are your thoughts on this comparison? Is there any difference between the programming of computers, and the 'programming' of humans by society?

May be computers are programmed to respond to different commands as people are "programmed" by society. But it is not the same. There are huge differences between them.
Yes, computers can think and interpret universe as well as human beings. They are its reflection and at the same time, speaking about computers' capabilities, they in thousand times surpass human beings. Computer is quicker, more capable to teaching, and it is less vulnerable than a human being.
We, people, all the time refresh our memory. Every day we collect a huge amount of new information and use it unknowlingly. We constantly turn to this compilcated storage device that is hidden in our heads. We are not like computers!
Computers are bereaved emotions. For example, they can easily find the shortest route from New York to Los Angeles, but the question like "Is this gace is beautiful" blanks them. There is no creativity in the computers. Computers have simulated intelligence.
