<br>2) Your computer is not fulfilling the Mitzvah of Talmud Torah K'neged Kulam.<br>3) Your computer has no appreciation that it is absorbing the Chochmah of the Borei Olam.<br>4) Your computer has no need to fulfill the Halachos contained in the stored information
<br>5) Your computer has no Bein Adam LaChaveiro interactions that need to be guided by the Torah.<br>Our protege interacts with his family, friends, neighbors, acquaintances, and strangers on a daily basis, just not in the context of a particular profession.
