In the 21st century, people use the internet and Artificial
Intelligence as a basis for learning about the world and interacting with it. This
interaction uses hardware.
For centuries leading up to the end of the 20th century,
widespread knowledge was based on books. Printed books came about because of
the invention of the printing press in Europe in the 1400s. People interacted
with books. These books were made with thick paper, animal skins, and heavy
twine to hold them together. This “hardware” of books and the “software” of
ideas within them were relatively portable. Such portability is similar with
our phones, tablets and ultra-small computers.
Could these books be called Artificial Intelligence? That
is, the books were produced by a kind of machine --- a printing press --- and
people interacted with the books. The wide-spread use of manufactured books was
the embryo of our internet. And Artificial Intelligence?
