@StacyE- Interestingly enough, we're starting to get computers that can digest information without human intervention. Of course, they still rely on humans to program them so ultimately the humans can still make a mistake....

I agree, Coach Carroll should have just admitted he made a bad call. He is human, and as we all know humans are notorious for making mistakes. For him to stand by the play and still say he thought he made the right call...

@Jastroff- I think from a military point of view, the reason for the drone being developed is that it is already "stealth" because it is smaller and flies lower it isn't seen by most radar. But considering most of the ways...
