Well, what I formerly would point out to students is that the difference 
between a computer and a human being is that only a human being can decide 
what questions are worth asking, and therefore also worth answering... 
Google can give you answers (maybe!).  See "The General" episode of "The 
Prisoner" where, at the end, Number 6 destroys the magic computer, 
supposedly able to answer any question, by asking it "why?" ;-)
