    Electronic analogy "(...

    ) the assumption that human beings, when behaving intelligently, are following heuristic rules similar to those which would be necessary to enable a digital computer to produce the same behavior." (Deyfrus, 1972, p. 76) Most people assume that acting according to moral and ethics means to have an intelligent behavior. In this way the computers' behavior is an electronic analogy of human being's reactions, all working to follow specific patterns in an heuristic and common way. Does "behaving intelligently" mean to follow the mass? Does "behaving intelligently" mean to act as the others to not to be different, so you are not the red and wrong dot on the map?
