Imagine the perfect machine. It would be able to do anything you asked it to do. It could mold itself into any form necessary to the task assigned. If it needed more machines to accomplish some task, it would readily be able to make them, each with as much ability as the original. It would be able to learn and then solve any problem with what it knows. And if it didn't have the knowledge it needed to solve a problem that it has been given then it would be able to seek out and discover the knowledge it needed. It might do this by inventing powerful information processors - brains, if you will - of any size and capacity necessary to come up with a solution.
This perfect machine would be capable of surviving the harshest environments, and of even changing the environments of an entire planet if necessary in order for it to function properly.
What would the purpose be of such a powerful machine? There could only be one purpose: to serve and obey the willful demands of its creator.
Now, what if I told you that such machines already exists? Well, they do. We call them "cells".
