"Can a Computer Fall in Love if It Doesn't Have a Body? Much has been written about Spike Jonze's Her, the Oscar-nominated tale of love between man and operating system. It's an allegory about relationships in a digital age, a Rorschach test for technology. It's also premised on a particular vision of artificial intelligence as capable of experiencing love.

Poetic license aside, is that really possible ?"

    THIS is why I enjoy SoylentNews and this community so much. I'm inclined to believe that pretty much anything could be presented, and ridiculously good debate will ensue. Thanks guys. :)
