And if you make a phone call, you're not actually talking to a person. You're talking into a microphone, that transmits electrical signals across a wire, that gets translated to a signal at the other end. A response is formed, translated into a signal that passes along wires, etc...

You're asking permission using the computer, instead of a phone.

So, if you have a tape recorder and automatic dialer doing the asking for permission on the phone, that's ok with you? It's not you doing it, it's the machine.

Point being, the machine is only a tool you are using. It doesn't have a mind of its own.
