- 425: Understanding Computers
- ... countries these two inventions that were made nearly three thousand years ago are still used today, and when in the right hands, can be used very accurately and quick. The next real important invention in computer history was a simple little thing called Napier’s bones, made by John Napier in the 1600’s it was just a bunch of bars or strips of bone with numbers printed on their face ... onto the this method and the method itself improved, but the basic idea was the same all the way up until the 1970’s this method was used for data processing and storage.

Prohibition was meant to reduce the consumption of alcohol, seen by some as the devil’s advocate, and thereby reduce crime, poverty, death rates, and improve the economy and the quality of life. “National prohibition of alcohol -- the ‘noble experiment’ -- was undertaken to reduce crime and corruption, solve social problems, reduce the tax burden created by prisons and poorhouses, and improve health and hygiene in America” (Thorton, 1). This, however, was undoubtedly to no avail. The Prohibition amendment of ...

- The imitation of intelligence in isolation from other human attributes seems to be the main point in Alan Turing’s Computer Machinery and Intelligence where he considers the question “Can machines think?” Using his “imitation game” I agree that Turing successfully addresses both this question and clarifies intelligence as separate from humanity. Alan Turing’s Imitation ... not in line with gender issues so, to answer the question, “Can machines think?” the man (given as A) is substituted for a machine.2 The type of machine used is limited to a digital computer. This is by no means a limitation as foreseen by Turing that “in about fifty years time one will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted”.3 Speaking of machines thinking is one thing but a computer passing Turing’s imitation game, now known as ‘The Loebner Prize’4 is another, presently unaccomplished feat. In summary of Turing’s case for machine’s thinking I accept and applaud his counterarguments against ...
