From colossal devices designed to save the world to mind-expanding, world-shrinking machines, we trace the evolution of mice and menus. The incredible breakthroughs and refinements that have marked the development of the computer are so familiar that they have lost some of their power to amaze. But the fact that we can now create a single, coin-sized chip boasting more power than early computers that filled entire rooms is one of the most impressive and important engineering achievements in human history. This detailed look at the evolution of computers traces their development from the days of the ENIAC to IBM’s awesome ASCI White, which can perform 12 trillion calculations per second. We’ll see how Apple turned the computer into a household accessory, and examine the advances that might lay ahead, such as computers integrated into our clothing or even embedded in fingernail polish! Among the experts adding their unique insights are Steve Wozniak, the inventor of the original Apple, and futurist Ray Kurzweil

Computers are only …
Computers are only a mere 60 or so years old.
How old are humans?
Did the first forms of life, e.g. a prokaryote feel love, compassion and kindness? No, that takes evolution, a lot of it.
It is incredibly naive to assert that computers as a concept are incapable of strong AI and/or feelings. Computers are 60 years old, wait a few thousand years and come back to me.
Lesson to be learned: Don’t come with absurd, unfounded assertions in a field you know nothing at all about.
can computers have …
can computers have feelings of love, compassion, kindness, value toward life, dreams, integrity, honesty, aspirations, romantic thoughts?
Yes yes … and you …
Yes yes … and you base that assertion on your Ph.D. in artificial intelligence?
Please …

Computers, even as they evolved into a real life AI will be unable to make the difference knowledge and wisdom.

Yes we are still in the dark ages of computers, I am certain now that these things will surpass all human capabilities in less than 25 years. We are riding the information wave and that wave is just about to break into a new age of enlightenment. The renaissance.
