Answer 3

It is impossible for a computer virus to "jump host" to a human being.  The reason they call malicious program a "virus" is due its behavior.  It spreads thru out your system and its hard to disinfect.  Just because it has the name "virus" doesnt mean that it can infect a living organism.  I hope this helps.

Answer 8

one day that will be possible.

it depends what kind of an outputs or means of control our computers will have in the future.

for example

if a computer can generate an odor

it can recreate an airborne virus.

or if we could control a computer directly with our brain cells.

a computer hacker can reverse engineer the technology and attack our nervous system.

it is possible. but not just yet, and not with our current technology.
