Like other machine learning methods‚ ANN have been used to solve a wide variety of tasks that are hard to solve using ordinary rule-based programming‚ including computer vision and speech recognition. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS The history of neural network is traced back to the work of trying to model the neuron. The first model of a neuron was introduced by physiologists

In her book‚ The Real World of Technology (1999)‚ Ursula M. Franklin argues that technology has a disruptive effect on humanity. If left-unchecked technology will eventually destroy society as we know it. Franklin illustrates her point by focusing on the effects technology has had on society and cultures in the past.
