False! The power of human-technology teamwork occurs when machines do
things very differently than people.
My favorite example is the everyday calculator. If it worked like me, it
would always make errors. It makes me more powerful because I set up the
problem and it does the computation without error.
The Dreamcatcher example i talked about works very differently than a
person is capable of. In turn, it can't do the same things as a person.
Hence, the synergy.
