Mechanical Brain That Could Do
Everything Would Be Big Engine
WASHINGTON (UP)— Some
day science may build an elec-
tronic "brain" better than man's
But the National Geographic
News Bulletin said, it will need
a skyscraper to house it, the
power cf Niagara Falls to run It,
and all of Niagara's water to keep
it coo?.
The Geographic has done a
run-down on artificial brains
starting with the pre-Christian
Abacus and winding up with
such present day electronic wiz-
ards as Aberdeen's Eniac and
the Atomic Energy Commis-
sions' "maniac."
. "Already " the National Geog-
raphic said, "there are electro-
nic 'giant brains' that can scan
a microfilmed library at 120,000
entries a minute, make out a
factory's payroll or a city's tele-
phone bills automatically, rattle
out mathematical tables of elec-
tric typewriters, or chew through
equations that would take a hu-
man calculator more taan a life-
time to Bolve."
Such gadgets make decisions,
choose in a sense between right
and wrong, figure out instruc-
tions given them, perform feats
of memory, and otherwise "show
attributes of thinking."
"Yet actually," the Geographic
said, "they are morons."
If a machine were built simul-
ating all the nerve connections
of the human brain, it would take
the aforementioned skyscraper |
to house It. But—
"Some day," the Geographic
said, "such a brain may be
built, far faster and more accur-
ate than any human mind.
"With techniques now known,
mathematicians predict, the cal-
culating machine will eventually
play perfect chess, orchestrate a
melody, forecast weather or type
letters directly from dictation."
It may "even beat the stock
market," the Geographic said.
