of simulating the brain and mapping it. The Obama administration is funding the BRAIN initiative that has the goal of mapping the activity of every neuron within the human brain. Also, the Human Brain Project in Europe plans to create a completely computer-based brain to test drug therapy and increase our knowledge of the mysterious organ. Machines will eventually take over jobs people have. They would autonomously harvest our crops, run our…

Prior to the 1930’s the word computer would have been defined as: a person who makes calculations, especially with a calculating machine. Today, computers are defined as: an electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary form, according to instructions given to it in a variable program. Humans and computers are evolving side by side to become the perfect couple in this information age. From business to education to even the medical field, computers have helped humans mold…

just because computers have a lot to do with math and science people just assumed that guys would be the only ones who could work with computers, computers were considered a boy’s “field of study”. They also assumed that the only reason girls would use computers would be to enter data into spreadsheets or for other records. With today 's advancement in technology just about everybody needs to keep up with the times and know how to work with all these different machines and computers. This helped…

displaying this capability. Although many people may think of artificial intelligence as a thing of the distant future, we already use the technology behind artificial intelligence in various forms today. In its current form, AI technology relies on computers analyzing huge amounts of data to recognize patterns within. This general approach allows current AI to accomplish many different things including translation between languages, business and operations optimizations, the operation of…

for the existence of intelligent computers or artificial intelligence (AI). The argument essentially states that if both a human and AI were in the same situation, the same outcome would occur. Therefore, artificial intelligence have the same cognitive capabilities and humans. Searle states that a strong AI is a computer that is not only a tool in the study of the mind but also a mind itself. By having a mind itself, a computer can sense, under the right programs, an understanding of what is…

when I was first introduced to using one of the older PC models. Of course, given my age I didn’t understand the value(s) of engaging as a user, on this huge monitor. I was taught how to navigate on the computer on a small scale, while doing different learning programs. Even though I had a computer it home, I didn’t really pay much attention to it. However, there were two electronic devices I was immensely intrigued with: the PlayStation system and regular television. My childhood for the…

science fiction and fantasy writer, and wrote essays like Eventful History: Version 1.x. This essay, written in 19951, was written not too much earlier than Y2K. Y2K was the fear of all computers going berserk after the transition from the year 1999 to the year 2000, due to the uncertainty of computers using two-digit programs interpreting the number 2000, or 00, as 1900. This would have caused huge trouble for places like banks, who would be unable to calculate interest accurately, and for…

Pollution – the discovery or invention of cleaner energy sources – increased recycling programs and better recycling methods ▪ Education – the information age is driving society to learn – online courses such as this one are available to people across the country, even while they are currently employed – computers and the Internet are being utilized through programs such as the 1 laptop per child program that was developed to help children in third world countries have the opportunity for…

in the 1980’s experienced a huge cultural jump. In those ten years many new technological discoveries came to be and since then they’ve only been advancing with the help of some technological geniuses. Technology is better in 2016 because phones, computers and medical technology is more advanced now. Phones…

used in many types of jobs around the world and it is becoming a larger issue for people due to its capability to replace people in the workforce. The A.I system was first established “back in the 1950s by John McCarthy while he was making programs to help computers play chess”(John para 5). Then soon after he invented the first A.I. John McCarthy was called the…
