I believe I have found out the origination of consciousness by using logic. Here goes:
Ok, when my aunt takes her sleeping pill, her body is not the only thing that gets tired. She
herself starts to slir her words and she even sleepwalks sometimes. This makes me think conciousness resides within the body as that is what the pill has the effect on. Also I think it would be the SOFTWARE for the body, only because if you slap a ruler on your leg flatly, your conscioussness is not hurt, except for thinking oh $h1t that hurts. It is only your HARDWARE, or body that feels anything. Also if you get hit in the head with a bolingball, there have been people who have totally changed. Thoughts and Oppinions, please.

If consciousness resides in the body, where in the body? In the brain? If consciousness resides in the brain how do I feel my leg? If consciousness is the body then surely a corpse would be conscious too? Wherever you may feel that the mind is, explore it carefully. Go inside the mind’s location with your mind. Find the boundary. Whenever you scope a location which has the sense of, “This is it” go into that location and open it up. Investigate mind inside and outside of that location. shift attention to the nature of consciousness itself and the intrinsic nature of the perceiver. Discern its intrinsic nature directly not as a concept.

consciousness is an ability possessed by a non-physical entity residing in and operating a body. Since the Being believes himself to be the body he becomes the effect of whatever affects the body. Hence if the body becomes drousy, the Being likelwise becomes drousy, but this is not the way it should be; a Being should not be the effect of the body.

All I can say, really, is that you are free to believe whatever you want.
I think that making analogies between people and computers breaks down very quickly into nonsense, so any use of that analogy in a discussion of consciousness make the conclusions implausible.
People have pondered that question for thousands of years, and I don't recall anyone yet having a definitive, widely accepted answer.
Keep trying, though.
