Answer 1

Learning is not a subjective experience, I’m not sure what you mean. You either can be demonstrated to know a given piece of knowledge or how to do a given process or not. Same goes for computers, only they’re a much more natural fit for knowledge than processes and we’ve only been catching them up recently.
