If computers could dream, what would they dream of? Faster processors with bigger memory chips? Uninterrupted power-supplies? Air-conditioned storage rooms with dust-free operating environments?
Would they dream of software office suites, 3-D games, operating system upgrades?
Would they dream about people? Ordinary users like you and me? Or J.C.R. Licklider and Linus Torvalds? Would their dreams about Bill Gates be nightmares?
Would they dream about starting their own software business? Or about establishing an ideal state?
What would they want, what would they long for?
What would the word "justice" mean to a computer? Or how about beauty?
Would truth only be a matter of zeroes and ones?
Is it so for us?
