Looking Forward (from the past),

This review is from: Mechanical Intelligence, Volume 1 (Advances in Psychology) (Hardcover)
This is a very interesting book allowing one to look at the future (from the 1940s) from Alan Turing's frame of mind.There is a lot of unintended humor here. Computers are people who do calculations. Computer programs are "instruction tables". The imminent demise of the mathematicians who write the instruction tables (because the machine can eventually write its own) leads to the creation of gibberish (computerese). If Turing could only imagine his brainchild would end up as an internet appliance... or a game platform. I think he would be amazed and pleased. |
