Motors cannot control computers. Computers can control motors.
Motors do not require an operating system.
There is something else that bothers me with this analogy...
The computer (as the 'average person' uses them) is a synergistic experience between both the hardware AND the software.
Without the software, it would be useless. Without the hardware, the software would be useless.
For the motor analogy, I assume the motor is the hardware, and the belts are the OS?
Motive power and computer power are 2 different things.
