+# A computer is an advanced tool for logical and effective problem solving
+
+## Advanced: Undergone development, moved some steps forward
+
+People tend to look at the word "advanced" as a positive term - as similar to
+"improved". But all it means is it has undergone development.
+
+>>A rotten tomato is an advanced tomato.<<
+
+To determine if development is positive one must consider the direction it is
+taking.
+
+One could say that advancing implies moving forward, but "forward" isn't
+always the best way to go. Logical: Structured, clinical.
+
+## Logical is not the same as "simple"
+
+Although logical expressions can be as simple as "2+2=4", a computer contains
+so many layers of logic that they cease to be simple.
+
+## Effective: having a rapid impact
+
+When you are effective you get alot done in a small amount of time or effort.
+
+A tool is effective only if you become effective by using it.
+
+## Problem solving
+
+Biggest challenges is in locating and describing a problem, not in fixing it.
+Problem solving badly prepared can even be damaging, because problematic
+structures below the surface can get even better hidden by a too simple "quick
+fix".
