What is thought?

I happened to read a book by Eric Baum " What is thought?". The book repetitively asserts that the mind is a computer program. I started thinking about this concept further. I observed myself more consciously and noted my thoughts and behavior. Mind is certainly a computer program which is known since long time. Intelligence machines and Artificial neural network fields are introduced based on the inspiration from working principle of brain.
I am always surprised to see that what ever we invent or create , it has some link or relation to the nature. Someone might think that what a big deal in this sentence. Its well known truth that everything is driven and conceived through nature. My point is that what we think and do or create or invent is already exists in this universe. We are researching those things and using it for our benefit. Ultimately, we are in a process of developing a human being which exists on this earth.
