Dave Bowman in a famous scene toward the end of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001:A Space Odyssey. Dave Bowman‚ having nearly been sent to a deep-space death by the malfunctioning machine‚ is calmly‚ coldly disconnecting the memory circuits that control its artificial brain. “Dave‚ my brain is going‚” HAL says forlornly. “I can feel it. I can feel it.” I can feel it‚ too. Over the past few years‚ I’ve had the uncomfortable sense that someone‚ or something‚ has been tinkering with my brain‚ remapping the neural

It demonstrates as a main theme the role that artificial robots could have in a futuristic society. As technology is advancing‚ can we distinguish between what is real‚ and what is not? The Swinton’s are a prosperous family that live in an overcrowded world set in the near future. The story is

Carr starts Is Google Making Us Stupid with the closing scene from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey when Dave taking apart the memory circuits that control HAL‚ the artificial brain of the ship. Carr feels the time he spends online is rewiring his brain. He is no longer able to concentrate long enough to read more than a few paragraphs. Even though the internet is useful‚ it seems to be changing the way our brain takes

That leaves us with the problem of deciding how and when to evaluate the agent’s success.

Endogenous pacemakers and exogenous zeitgebers are used to control biological rhythms. Biological rhythms are controlled by environmental factors such as light‚ temperature and food availability; these are known as exogenous (external) zeitgebers. However biological organisms are complex systems‚ where many different processes are taking place. This means that it would be useful to have something which would co-ordinate these processes‚ keeping everything in time – an endogenous pacemaker. This

Author‚ Steven Pinker does not believe so; he argues that technology is “the only thing that will keep us smart.” It is not the internet fault for human’s stupidity. However‚ author Nicolas Carr asserts that “our intelligence will flatten into artificial intelligence” (44) ultimately disagreeing with Pinker’s statement.
