Over time I have been changed quite a lot. I began as a calculating machine
in France in 1642. Although I was young I could simplify difficult sums. I developed
very slowly and it took nearly two hundred years before I was built as an analytical
machine by Charles Babbage. After I was programmed by an operator who used cards with
holes, I could "think" logically and produce an answer quicker than any person. At 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 problem. From then on, I grew rapidly both in size and in brainpower.
By the 1949s I had grown as large as a room, and I wondered if
I would grow any larger. However, this reality also worried my designers.
As time went by, I was make smaller. First as a PC(personal computer) and then as a laptop,
I have been used in offices and homes since the 1970s. These changes only became possible
as my memory improved. First it was stored in tubes, then on transistors and later on very small
chips. As a result I totally changed my shape.
As I have grown older I have also grown smaller.
Over time my memory has developed so much that, like an elephant,
I never forget anything I have beentold! And my memory became so large
that even I couldn't believe it! But I was always so lonely standing
there by myself, until in early 1960s they gave me a family connected by a network. I was able
to share my know ledge with others through the World Wide Web. since the 1970s
many new applications have been found for my. I have become very important in communication,
finance and trade. I have also been put into robots and used to make mobile phones as well as help
with medical operations. I have even been put into space rockets and
sent to explore the Moon and Mars.
Anyhow, my goal is to provide humans with a life of high quality. I am now truly filled with
happiness that I am devoted friend and helper of the human race!!!
