A real puzzler for you

Has it gotten to the point where physical computers will no longer be
needed?
Rather, your own body become the machine.

A couple of weeks I came to find out that somehow or other I had acquired a
program within my own body!Luckily, I was able to disengage that one fairly
quickly and trash it.

But then, a second one shows up and it is nothing more than some kind of
reporting on activiy from various parts of the body.

What makes this all interesting is, how do yu do anything with it since you
have no keyboard or even a mouse to use? The answer is voice!
With some experimentation I found it would respond to certain voice
commands.But not ones where you needed two keys to take action such as
ctrl+ keys.

For closing out the program, I found that close did not work but terminate
did. Uninstall did not work, but remove does.The annoying parts of this
program are, it keeeps coming alive a few minutes later. Other voice
commands include "Go to original page". Rather than saying home or
backspace.

The page looks similar to a broawer window and has a menu. HOwever, none of
the menu items repsoned to voice. On the address bar, I noticed, barely,
"c::\..".
Huh? Ok so like where in my body is the hard drive it is referring to?

Any one else have this experience?

You're out of luck then. Body computers require a brain, so yours won't
work.

Sounds like you're making war on your autonomic nervous system. Either
that or the subconscious.

Which of these alternatives takes your fancy?
1. I am the pilot of my ship; my mind controls my body, I have free will.
2. I am a mere epiphenomenon. All decisions have been made before I
become conscious of having made them.

st00pid's brain has all the processing power of an etch-a-sketch.
