Believe it or not, artificial intelligence has existed for a long time. It all started with a person named Alan Turing. It first starts with his cracking of ‘enigma’, which was an enciphering machine, used by the Germans to secretly send messages with a security blanket over it. Turing was determined to crack the codes, which then resulted him having the title of The Father of Artificial Intelligence. He also had a testing method called; The Turing Test, which is basically a human evaluates conversations between a human and a machine in order generate human like responses.   In 1956, Artificial Intelligence was born at Dartmouth College. Along with that, ELIZA was created on 1964 until 1966. The concept of ELIZA is an early natural language processing computer program. Moving on, there was someone, who of course was concerned of Artificial Intelligence. His name was Marvin Minsky. He was actually the winner of the Turing Test. And the funding for Artificial Intelligence was heavy.

The documentary we watched; Startup.com, was a documentary about two guys. Their names are Kaleil and Tom. They both had a dream about making website as teenagers. They later pursued their intentions, but after a while, like Ninety percent of dreams, it goes down. It all started when Kaleil and Tom both invented the idea of making their website. The website was govWorks.com. It was a website created for people to look up and pay for their parking citations. Both Tom and Kaleil were the co-founders, as well as co-CEO’s, which later turns out to be a bad idea.  At first, it seemed like it was going the right direction.

MCi’s Gramercy press is advertised. The book; How to Publish on the Internet is published. Bruce Johnson and Rob Glaser visit Cole and Weber, which then came Real Audio Launcher. There also came in the ‘The NFL on the Web’, the chat before the spat. It is basically two players from the NFL, talking beef before their matches. Freezone, funded by Spry had 450,000 registered users. Now, what do these companies represent? They are represented a

On Wednesday, October 31st. We had a guest speaker named Erik Hanberg for my class, TINST207, he is good friends with my college professor. He was a pretty interesting guy. He did all sorts of things in his life. He was extremely interested in technologies and the web. I took away a lot from his presentation.
