In Parsha Chukat, Rashi (BeMidbar 19:12) says that, if Moshe would have spoken to the rock instead of hitting it, there would have been a big lesson to the Israelites.
The people would have made a kal v'chomer: if the rock, which does not need livelihood and is not subject to reward and punishment, does the will of G-d, then certainly we should also.
Since when does a rock have intelligence and free will? Isn't it forced to do whatever it does?
Can you learn a similar lesson from your computer, which follows the laws of physics G-d instituted?
