Most people don’t realize it, but after the advent of computers and as the cost became less and less, more and more small businesses were able to afford them. Therefore, they were able to keep track of all their employees, their payroll, and they have nice printed out spreadsheets to give them all the information they needed. Prior to this, everybody had to do things the hard way. “Planning and Using a Total Personnel System,” by Richard A. Kaumeyer Junior, 1982

The Massachusetts Institute of technology or MIT has always been on the cutting edge of technology, and years ahead of the rest of the world. Their engineers, students, and professors have brought forth significant innovations, concepts, and they have literally changed the world. To fully understand how incredible this institution is and how long all of this has been going on, it takes a little bit of a history lesson.

Do you ever wonder how our modern day computers came into existence? If you do, then perhaps, you’d like to read some incredible history, and consider all the philosophical debate on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and some of the future perceived uses of this technology. If so, then I’d sure like to recommend an extremely interesting book to you. One that was well ahead of its time, and one that today would still make you think.

It is fairly obvious that computers and artificial intelligence will run our world tomorrow, as we program these machines today. Interestingly enough, not long from now these AI machines will be programming themselves. How did we come so far so fast you ask? Well, maybe you need to do a little research for yourself.
