Computers, who think and feel. This vision led the pioneers of the computer world in the 70s. To date, it has not yet done the artificial intelligence so far – yet they exert enormous influence on the minds of people from
In 1975, Bill Gates 20 years. old. He published this year a small pamphlet entitled “Software Notes” in which he made his fellow unequivocally pointed out that not only the equipment – the hardware – but also their programs – represent a commodity that to – the software is pay, and not too short. From the moment the software is no longer supplied with the devices, as it was common until then. Now you had to buy them, and you could also – for example, products of Microsoft, Bill Gates founded the Paul Allen in the same year. Thereafter, thus
was the world differently. From the typewriter to Microsoft Word
I am still of the generation of people who travel typewriters used and struggled with Tipp-Ex. My thesis was made in the early 1970s, laboriously and with constant fear of a mistyping especially in the last lines of a page with such a conventional typewriter. When I was involved in the doctoral thesis in the second half of the 1970s, you could use your writing a spherical head typewriter from IBM, and I was convinced that there could be no increase for the convenience and security when writing. But because Microsoft was already established, and even though the first write programs with names like WordStar not supplied by Gates company – they came to in 1977 on the market – so it was not long until “Word for Windows”, the world – more precisely, the issues raised here part of the world – and conquered the letter opened up entirely new possibilities. No more fear of typos, not Tipp-Ex scribble more, unimagined possibilities of font choice and formatting, and enormously helpful the assistance, for example through automatic spelling corrections, and I got used gradually as the red squiggles under misspelled words that I miss them when I write something by hand.

IBM 500. – the first portable computers appeared in 1975 but
in 1975, not only Bill Gates and his software company. IBM 1975 brings out the first portable computer, which weighs 25 kg and 500 IBM’s. The Palo Alto Research Center, which the company Xerox has set up and funded, introduces a first graphical user interface (GUI) that allows the clicks are possible later. The following year, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak founded the company Apple Computer, which goes public in 1980. In the time gate prepares the MS-DOS operating system, which is on the market in 1981. The following year, the word “Internet” is in general use, and Time magazine selected in 1982 actually the computer for “Personality of the Year”, what one may wonder to this day.
The deployment of artificial intelligence
The computer as a personality? In the 1970s, there were in addition to the mentioned practical advances many considerations of philosophical nature for growing artificial intelligence. One then asked and answered question today was whether there even a computer – will that is able to defeat a world chess champion – therefore a suitable software. As is known, this is IBM succeeded with a machine called Deep Blue before the end of the 20th century, and although it is known, is worth a note, though, that relate to some predictions of the 1970s. When Microsoft and Apple moved into our lives, some thinkers discussed the above question about the possibility of a programmed machine to defeat a world chess champion. The experts were generally of the view that this would one day succeed, but this would not be, so they thought. Rather, they were of the opinion that a software program that is world champion in chess, be happy about their victory and in general develop and show emotions can.

Software develops the master of human life
So – where they hear because on the possibilities of the software? Where to show the limits of the machinery? Look forward to us, as we look forward to it? They keep people definitely under its spell, as everyone can see, the stroll through any city and more people see the look on her iPhone, as passers-by, the environment in the area and look at her companion. The machine apparently not reciprocate the feelings that raise their addicted users. Not to ensure that they give users Remember some of their freedom, and have loved? As Erich Kastner wrote: “. The freedom, there’s no need / Wherever you look, it suggests who dead / But how to kill the time, / you have to tell people specifically..” This task is now taking software. And people chuckle with delight. The software does not develop feelings. But she draws the people to
