“Darwin among the Machines‚” 46 years before Forster (whose story‚ “The Machine Stops‚” was published 107 years ago). It is hard to believe that two stories with a similar tone could have been written so long ago. What is even more incredible is that they both seem to relate to present day society. How could two people (both from a time when technology was in its infancy) could write stories that could have been written about our time or even in our near future? The concept that machines will surpass

dealing with computations which involved "effective" or "mechanical" methods for finding results (which could also be expressed as solutions (values) to formulae). These methods were so called because they could‚ in principle‚ be performed by simple machines (or human-computers or human-calculators‚ to use Turing’s unfortunate phrases). The emphasis was on finiteness : a finite number of instructions‚ a finite number of symbols in each instruction‚ a finite number of steps to the result. This is why

20th December‚ 2150 The end is coming quickly. At first I thought it would be because of an unexpected virus that would spread and kill all mankind. No fuss somehow. Or a battalion of unknown species would land on our planet‚ take it and destroy all living matter in sight. I imagine weird creatures flying even more ridiculous things. But I was sort of disappointed. Humankind wanted a cruel finale. Bombs are everywhere. Merciless androids are roaming around shedding innocent blood. Deafening

transformers to determine the winding resistance‚ Req and leakage reactance‚ Xeq. The aim of this experiment is to measure‚ determine and analyses the parameters of single-phase or three-phase transformer and torque-speed characteristics of rotating machines. Besides that‚ we are required to differentiate the construction and winding of single-phase or three-phase transformer. Through this experiment‚ we have to develop the connection wiring for single-phase and three-phase transformer and

Environmental Change Evolution is the process of change that occurs in living organisms over many generations. It is the result of natural selection by the environment of favourable variations in the organisms. Changes in the environment of living organisms can lead to the evolution of plant and animal species. These environmental changes in condition may be physical- temperature‚ rainfall‚ sea level and landforms e.g. Peppered Moths chemical- water salinity‚ acidity‚ use of pesticides‚ oxygen
