Is it Alive?

i think it's a pretty good essay and i think it can prove to some people that a gamecube is living and all the facts are straight. It makes an interesting point on how some non-living things are really living.

Nice essay. You proved your points in stating that the Gamecube is a living organism, and now I'm a believer. Well done.

Arguments for why this is not true.


1. If you have studied modern biology, you should know that the outer part of the skin is not connected to any blood vessels and it has therefore no intake of nutrition which is essential for living and therefore the outer part of the skin des not live. It is also these cells that falls off when you touch something. Therefore, your GameCube is filled with thosands of dead cells. Lets say you accidentally cut yourself and a lot of blood was spilled on your Gamecube. Then, your Gamecube would have had living organisms on it for a whiile, but because of the fact that for cells to live they need to have a steady intake of nutrition. Since bloodcells are dependent on our mouth and the digestie system in order to get nutrition, your bloodcells would have died in yhe matter of a few hours...unless you somehow gave nutrition to your bloodcells. Your Gamecube is thefore not alive because it does not have living oganismns at all.


Besides, your living organisms need to respirate and excreete as well. Does your Gamecube do that?


If your memory card indeed had grown in size, i would have agreed to that statement. But does an iPod 30 gigabye with no information stored in it weigh less than an iPod 30 gigabyte filled with music, pictures and movies? No. Then your memory card is not growing.


Another thing is that you memory cards that fall in love are tranfering data...not reprodusing.


It was an amusing essay, but with many flaws in its arguments.


I am sorry if I have some accidental spelling mistakes
