Over time I have been changed quite a began as a calculating machine in France in I was young I could simplify difficult developed very slowly and it took nearly two hundred years before I was built as an analytical machine by Charles I was programmed by an operator who used cards with holes, I could “think” logically and produce an answer quicker than any that time it was considered a technological revolution and the start of my “artificial intelligence”.In 1936 my real father, Alan Turing, wrote a book about how I could be made to work as a “universal machine” to solve any difficult mathematical then on, I grew rapidly both in size and in the 1940s I had grown as large as a room, and I wondered if I would grow any , this reality also worried my time went by, I was made as a PC(personal puter)and then as a laptop, I have been used in offices and homes since the changes only became possible as my memory it was stored in tubes, then on transistors and later on very small a result I totally changed my I have grown older I have also grown time my memory has developed so much that, like an elephant, I never forget anything I have been told!And my memory became so large that even I couldn39。t believe it!But I was always so lonely standing there by myself, until in the early 1960s they gave me a family connected by a was able to share my knowledge with others through the World Wide the 1970s many new applications have been found for have bee very important in munication, finance and have also been put into robots and used to make mobile phones as well as help with medical have even been put into space rockets and sent to explore the Moon and , my goal is to provide humans with a life of high am now truly filled with happiness that I am a devoted friend and helper of the human race!第三單元電腦 閱讀一 我是誰隨著時間的推移我被改變了很多。在1642年的法國，我是作為一個計算機(jī)器而開始的。雖然我很年輕我可以簡化一些計算題。在我被Charles Babbage改造成分析機(jī)器之前我很慢的發(fā)展了接近兩百年。之后我被一個操作員用帶洞的卡調(diào)制成了可以合邏輯地思考并且比任何人都快地得出一些問題的答案。那是一個被成為技術(shù)改革的時候并且開始了我的人造智能。在1936年我真正的父親Alan Turing寫了一本關(guān)于我如何像普遍的機(jī)器一樣去解決任何困難的數(shù)學(xué)問題的書。從那起，我在體積和智能方面快速的發(fā)展。在1940年我變得像一個房間一樣大，并且我想知道我是否還能變得更大。然而，事實也在困擾著我的設(shè)計者。隨著時間的推移，我被制的更小。首先是個人電腦再到后來的手提電腦，在1970年我已經(jīng)開始被用在辦公室和家里。這些變化只因為我記憶力的增強(qiáng)。開始記憶被存放于電子管里，然后是晶體管和后來更小的晶片。因此我改變了我的整個外型。隨著我慢慢變老我也慢慢的變小。隨著時間推移我的記憶力發(fā)展的那么快，像頭大象，我不會忘記任何我曾被告知的東西！而且我的記憶力變得如此的大以至于我都不敢相信!不過我總是自己那么孤單的站在那里，直到1960年他們通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)給了我一個家庭關(guān)系。我能夠通過萬維網(wǎng)和其他的電腦分享我的知識。從1970年起很多新的應(yīng)用為我而被發(fā)明。我在交流，金融和貿(mào)易方面變得重要。我同樣被放進(jìn)遙控裝置中被用來制造移動電話也幫助醫(yī)學(xué)手術(shù)。我已經(jīng)被放進(jìn)太空火箭并被送去探測月亮和火星。即使如此，我的目的是為人們提供高質(zhì)量的生活。我現(xiàn)在充滿快樂應(yīng)為我成為了人類種族中的一個忠心的朋友和幫助者。ANDY – THE ANDROID I’m part of an android football once a year we are allowed to get together to play a game of ’m as big as a fact, I look like one the football team I’m a striker so I have to be able to run very puter chips help me to move and think like a example, I have learned to signal to my teammates in puter language to give me the ball when I am open and have a good shot for a first football petition was in Nagoya, Japan several years year our team went to Seattle, Washington in the won second , I think the team that won first place had developed a new type of program just before the we need to encourage our programmer to improve our intelligence are determined to create an even better a way our programmer is like our programs us with all the possible moves she has seen while watching human she prepares reliable moves to use if a new situation this way I can make up new moves using my “artificial intelligence”.I could like to play against a human team, for I have been programmed to act just like all, with the help of my electronic brain which never forgets anything, using my intelligence is what I’m all about!機(jī)器人Andy 我是一個機(jī)器人球隊的一份子。我們被允許在一齊踢足球大約一年了。我像一個人類一樣高大。事實上，我長得也像人類。在球隊里我是前鋒因此我要跑得非?？臁Ｎ业碾娔X芯片幫助我移動并且像人類一樣思考。例如，我已經(jīng)學(xué)會了當(dāng)我要開動去射一個好球的時候用電腦語言向我的隊友發(fā)信號讓他們把球傳給我。我的第一場足球比賽是在幾年前在日本的名古屋。去年我們球隊去了美國華盛頓和西雅圖。我們勝利的第二個地方。就我個人觀點，我認(rèn)為我們球隊第一次贏的地方是作弊的。他們已經(jīng)在比賽之前一種新的程序類型。所以我們也要促進(jìn)我們的程序去提高我們的智能。我們決心要去一種甚至更好的標(biāo)志。一定程度上說我們的程序就像我們的教練。她訓(xùn)練我們所有在人類比賽中她能看到的所有可能的動作。如果一種
