Hundreds Of Thousands Artificial Intelligence
1,096 wordsArtificial Intelligence Artificial intelligence is a highly debatable topic. You either believe that it may be achieved or think it can't, and the middle is a little shady. Artificial Intelligence is the study to create a machine that can act like a human brain, including emotions, and consciousness. This speech will cover the subject of if it can ever be achieved and at what level. This would be a giant technological step. If it is ever achieved, everyday activities such as vacuuming, or laundr...

Sense Data Space Time
1,315 wordsOne night I saw a TV program, Einstein's Universe. I turned it on because it was narrated by Peter Ustinov, whom I admire, even though I'm tired of Einstein's universe. The program was well done. A great effort was made to make a clear and convincing dramatization of the universe according to Einstein; just enough mystique to sugar the dull sterility of science. What bothered me most was the subservient role of Peter Ustinov playing an average man who didn't know science, feeling privileged to b...

Von Neumann Vacuum Tubes
1,809 words... ly met with Atanasoff and Berry, he used the ABC as the basis for the next computer development. From this association ultimately would come a lawsuit, considering attempts to get patents for a commercial version of the machine that Mauchly built. The suit was finally decided in 1974, when it was decided that Atanasoff had been the true developer of the ideas required to make an electronic digital computer actually work, although some computer historians dispute this decision. But during the...

Large Scale Integration Long Term Effects
3,925 words# 1. The History As the computer revolution continues along at its furious pace one wonders where we are heading. Will we eventually live in an automated utopia where we lounge about, or might our creations destroy us as in the Terminator movies? Will the Internet make its vast knowledge available to all, or will it further the separation between the haves and have nots. While there are many good things that stem from computers there is a dreadful weakness. We as a nation and a world are addicte...

John W Mauchley High Speed Electronic
999 wordsThere have been few inventions that has grown an attached itself to as many lives as the invention of the computer. Computers can be found in almost every aspect of our lives, if not direct, indirectly. When I think of the different ways I come in contact with computers in one day its astounding. When I wake in the morning its usually by the assistance of an alarm clock that I program to alarm at a specific time. When I use my Metro Card to gain entrance to the train, a computer reads the funds ...

Amount Of Power Von Neumann
3,698 wordsDevelopment of Computers and Technology Computers in some form are in almost everything these days. From Toasters to Televisions, just about all electronic things has some form of processor in them. This is a very large change from the way it used to be, when a computer that would take up an entire room and weighed tons of pounds has the same amount of power as a scientific calculator. The changes that computers have undergone in the last 40 years have been colossal. So many things have changed ...

Large Scale Integration Electronic Digital Computer
3,222 wordsHISTORY OF COMPUTERS Historically, the most important early computing instrument is the abacus, which has been known and widely used for more than 2, 000 years. Another computing instrument, the astrolabe, was also in use about 2, 000 years ago for navigation. Blaise Pascal is widely credited with building the first digital calculating machine in 1642. It performed only additions of numbers entered by means of dials and was intended to help Pascals father, who was a tax collector. In 1671, Gottf...

Sign Of Determinants Modular Arithmetic Computation
321 wordsModular arithmetic can be used to compute exactly, at low cost, a set of simple computations. These include most geometric predicates, that need to be checked exactly, and especially, the sign of determinants and more general polynomial expressions. Modular arithmetic resides on the Chinese Remainder Theorem, which states that, when computing an integer expression, you only have to compute it modulo several relatively prime integers called the moduli's. The true integer value can then be deduced...

Quantum Mechanics Technological Progress
4,210 wordsWhat is quantum computing? Quantum Computing is something that could have been thought up a long time ago an idea whose time has come. For any physical theory one can ask: what sort of machines will do useful computation? or, what sort of processes will count as useful computational acts? Alan Turing thought about this in 1936 with regard (implicitly) to classical mechanics, and gave the world the paradigm classical computer: the Turing machine. But even in 1936 classical mechanics was known to ...

1,236 wordsA Quantum Computer a future technology By the strange laws of quantum mechanics, Folger, a senior editor at Discover, notes, an electron, proton, or other subatomic particle is in more than one place at a time, because individual particles behave like waves, these different places are different states that an atom can exist in simultaneously. Ten years ago, Folger writes, David Deutsch, a physicist at Oxford University, argued that it may be possible to build an extremely powerful computer based...
