I will not discuss the other meaning of intelligence;the information gathering. Every scholar in psychology has defined intelligence differently and there is no consensus about definition of intelligence and so my definition is open to criticism. Even a virus shows intelligence by adapting mutation for survival. Even a bacterium shows intelligence by synthesizing an enzyme to inactivate antibiotics. For lower species, intelligence is meant for survival and reproduction but for higher species like humans, intelligence could be anything from socializing to abstract thinking to reasoning to imagination to creativity.If another […]
THE COMPUTER AND INTERNET
THE COMPUTER AND THE INTERNET: Prologue: Millions of people read my comments on internet and yet,majority of them have very little knowledge of computer/internet and hence I am posting this comments to educate them. Today,we live in computer age,the computers are found everywhere and it has created global awareness. Computer is defined as a programmable machine that computes(stores,processes and retrieves) information(data)according to a set of instructions(program). Church-Tuning theory of mathematical versatility suggests that any computer with certain minimum capacity,in principle, can perform the same task that any other computer can perform. Computers are of 2 kinds,analog and digital. Analog computer is slower,having continuous inputs and uses mechanical devices like gear/rachet/lever to perform mathematical task, for example,speedometer in a car or electricity meter in house etc.It translates variables in a given problem into analogous variations in electrical quantity like current/voltage and solve original problem by solving an equivalent problem(analog) in electrical […]
