@Shamar @ekaitz_zarraga There is no clear answer (and will never be), and "non-technical people" are always fooled, that's the nature of not caring how things work.

The question of whether Machines Can Think... is about as relevant as the question of whether Submarines Can Swim. — Dijkstra (1984) The threats to computing science (EWD898)

Anybody recommends a small (in terms of compiled size) C library for reading GIF images, suitable for use on microcontrollers?

@ekaitz_zarraga There is a book "Through the Language Looking Mirror" that describes this and other language-related things. There are languages that only have absolute directions. There are languages that use different tenses depending where you obtained the information (hearsay, seconnd-hand or eyewitness). There are languages that require you to know the gender of the persdon you speak of, etc. -- it all affects thinking.
