acquisition and the ability for computers to perform the same. In the past, many people feared that computers would end up conquering humans due to the development of “artificial intelligence” in the 1950s. Research has debunked this myth with the simple fact that for computers “the hard problems are easy and the easy problems are hard” (191). For example, a simple question like “Do zebras wear underwear?” can confuse the computer. This suggests that the computers could eventually successfully…
