Someone Smart

Can someone smart please tell me the point of the "Word Verification" portion of posting comments/signing in, etc.? I do not understand the point. I have wondered this for many moons now. It is time for me to understand so I can get on with my life.

The point of word verification is to eliminate computer generated spam from comments systems. It basically makes sure that the person posting a comment is actually a person and not a computer program. I used to see the comments sections on blogs flooded with obnoxious spam. The implementation of word verification has cut back on the amount of comment spamming I see these days, but it's still out there.
