Document Summary
Cybernetics: control and communication in the animal and machine (1948) Control = self-regulation; purposeful behavior can be attributed to machines. Feedback: machines can self-regulate by using their own output information as input for new process. Universal computing machine (proposed 1936): one of the original of stored- program computing; an all-purpose machine that can run any sequence of instructions. Computing machinery and intelligence (mind, 1950), asked can machines think? . Turing test: yes, if human judge cannot distinguish between machine and human (i. e. in conversation via teletype) 1970s (microprocessor), computer kits sold to hobbyists. 1977: first pre-assembled personal computers (eg commodore pet and. Interpretive flexibility regarding hardware and how humans would interact with machines (typewriter keyboards or calculating pads; cassette tape recorders; monitors or connect to tv) Douglass engelbart, stanford research institute augmentation of human.
