Randomness

To prove that- no real process can be random.
I believe no real process can be 'random' and always an element of given sample space has greater probability of occurring than another element. 
   When I ask you to 'randomly' select any single digit number-
Some may say their lucky number, some will say which ever number is first or last in the sample space, some will go with one, some educated people might say a single digit negative number. Etc. 
   Now see, the probability of a negative number( which is also single digit) is so less! What I wish to put forth is- there is always a cause behind selecting a number. Some we consciously know. Some we say unconsciously say. 
    Let's take another example. You are asked to randomly pick a ball from a tub which has balls of many colours. You may ending up picking a ball of your favourite color. To eliminate this error, let's consider you have been blind-folded. Now the probability by which your hand reaches to each ball is not same! Some may be below. Some easily reachable!
   The random article of Wikipedia must also be using some algorithm to generate random articles! 
   One thing I don't understand is- randomness is based on random choice. The ability to choose is vested in the hands of those who live! Then how can computers choose and generate any random number!!!! How can apps make random passwords!!!?!?!??
   Here I conclude- basic idea being- "nothing is random. Everything has a cause. You just need to think rationally"
