hmm, a pretty obvious conclusion.

I can recall 2 stories such as that one. In one a man in a bar is asked how might a robot live forever and they talk about how it would have to upgrade every once in a while but yes it could last forever. The end of the story lingers over one mans young companion.

Another story that comes to mind is after a war where a computer ran everything some men ask its caretaker if it was unable to solve a problem. He answers that he would then flip a coin to decide.
