The computer is designed to reciprocate Human behavior. It is so specialized in computing advance task which human machine may or may not able to compute in a fraction. I understand, there are many differences which make human apart from computers like senses, emotions etc. But the one thing which makes apart is removing unwanted data from memory…The computer is the clever device, which can erase data as per the instruction.
Just imagine, you are Soldiers haunted by scenes of war and victims scarred by violence or terrified by some instance or any past emotional break thru and may wish they could wipe the memories from their minds. Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University say that may someday be possible.
Is it possible to erase traumatic memories?
A commercial drug remains far off — and its use would be subject to many ethical and practical questions. But scientists have laid a foundation with their discovery that proteins can be removed from the brain's fear center to erase memories forever.
"When a traumatic event occurs, it creates a fearful memory that can last a lifetime and have a debilitating effect on a person's life," says Richard L. Huganir, professor and chair of neuroscience in the Hopkins School of Medicine. He said his finding on the molecular process "raises the possibility of manipulating those mechanisms with drugs to enhance behavioral therapy for such conditions as post-traumatic stress disorder."
In future, If we get this method we may cure several diseases (mental disorder).

Yes this is definetely needed for humans and one more feature of comps also needed: backspace or Ctrl+Z. May be, this will be added feature and no cause of worry.
