Why Your Computer Is Better Thatn Your Brain
WHY A COMPUTER IS BETTER THAN YOUR BRAIN

The computer - Computers are getting smarter by the day. Computer programs at research labs are constantly learning anything that the programmers are feeding them with. Voice recognition engines are developed but feeding the program with thousands of different voices from entire towns so that it could pick up patterns in speech, accents and slangs and learn to reconigse them. OCR (optical character recognition) programs are picking up new tips and patterns as it observes the different styles of writings from its ever-increasing database. Smarter programs are now able to classify pictures of objects it never saw before into different categories in real-time by studying their shapes and textures or by observing similar patterns in the picture's coding.

The rate of learning computers using smart programs has a big advantage that is they can share their data between different computers. Data and results achieved first by other computers by trial and error or by observation of patterns can be copied directly to other computers, hence increasing their rate of learning.

Since the memory of the computers are absolute (either recorded or deleted), computers need no adapting when they are loaded with traditional programs and are asked to run them. However, some smart programs are capable of learning from their mistakes and recording the best solution to any problems it faces. (an example is the household robot,cye ( created by Henry Thorne) which would memories the way around a new house without any help simply by trial and error; banging into walls and barriers and drawing a map of the landmarks it has banged into)

Computer learning techniques seem to have taken the right pushes at the right areas, especially the step towards learning to learn by using of the two most important senses, sight and sound. It would not be overstatement to say that computers would in a decade’s time be able to learn simply form observation and

    These are based on “machine learning algorithms” which are modeled after the structure of the human brain. Just like a human brain has neurons, the new program has units of information analysis that take in data and produce a signal. This type of program is less likely to break down. I found it interesting that one of the studies in this article took place in Bloomington, Indiana at the 2006 International Conference on Development and Learning. Researchers were impressed to see a robot recognizing human faces in its environment.…

    As little as ten years ago, the thought of having a personal computer at one's office desk, home, or grade school seemed far‑fetched indeed. Now personal computers are accepted complacently as part of our modern world. Computer brains run cars, stereos, televisions, refrigerators, phone systems, factories, offices, airplanes, and defense systems, to name a few examples. The next progression of the computer as a mobile unit, robot, may like the personal computer, become a common and essential companion at home and in the workplace.…

    When I became interested in computer science, one of the areas that intrigued me the most was that of Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI was futuristic back when I first attended college and the ideas that surrounded it seemed unattainable and unrealistic. Today the development of AI has been achieved and continues to grow and expand into new uses.…

    Since computers have been created, there have been many improvements to where they are now and I still believe there is much more to be done with computers. Although computers have their own brain they still do what humans tell them to do. Computers can solve problems and look up certain data, but it is all based upon what it is told to do by the operator. This leads me to the topic of what is still missing. The piece that is still missing from computers being able to replace human senses is the fact that they are not able to think on their own. As mentioned earlier, can operate by producing outcome, but they have to be told what functions to do. Computers do not also have emotions or the ability to think on their own which is something humans can do. The only thing computers can be accomplished to improve in this area would be for the computers to act as robots where they would have a mind of their own, but still in that sense they would still have to be told what to do or programmed in a way to be able to operate.…

    In Sherry Turkle’s essay How Computers Changed the Way We Think, she said “we have to ask, as educators and citizens, whether current technology is leading us in directions that server our human purpose”.

    In the past, the technology wasn’t like nowadays. Students needed to search in many books to find the information that they want. It was very hard and take a lot of time to write a piece of paper. In some cases, it was difficult to find every information wanted in one library. So students need to go to many libraries. For that reason, people found that getting a Master degree or PhD hard. But nowadays people can use technology to study. Internet made learning and education easier. Student can find anything they want in a min. In comparison with the past, education now is simpler. So people now want to get Master and PhD degrees. Technology is very useful for students to learn better; however, it could have a negative effect if it used incorrectly.…

    Machines can be conscious

    If we look at the definition of consciousness, which implies that ‘one has to be aware of all its surroundings and wellbeing’ then machines can certainly not be conscious; as they have all the operations and data already programmed in them by some external forces and are only aware of those situations which have been manually fitted in them. Will computers ever become conscious? Or will computers be well aware of all its systems’ information and working? In a way, they already are. The whole system of a computer is specifically designed so that certain kinds of information are available to the programmer/ user; for example opening and saving files, display of screen functions, all functions related to processors, disk, and other functioning are all set in the codes about which the computer is well aware of. This is because every information system, either computer or brain, has to work in real time.…
