Alan Turing Can Machine Think

It has been said that intelligence and/ or knowledge can be both a curse and a blessing. The book “Frankenstein” portrays this idea perfectly. Intelligence can be a wonderful gift that brings many great things, but at what cost? Would you seek all the knowledge in the world if you knew that it would bring you only pain and suffering? These two questions help qualify the validity of the statement that intelligence or knowledge can be both a curse and a blessing.

Mel Levine’s book, A Mind at a Time, describes many aspects of cognitive psychology and attempts to apply them to the educational system for young children. This book also makes suggestions for parents that have children with cognitive difficulties. The chapters in this book are designated to various aspects of cognitive psychology as they pertain to children. This paper focuses on chapter six in A Mind at a Time, which is titled “Making Arrangements: Our Spatial and Sequential Ordering Systems.” This is a very interesting chapter because it incorporates many aspects of cognitive psychology. In this chapter, Levine focuses on how children organize their world in terms of learning, thinking,

Can machines be conscious? Well, the answer actually depends on the kind of machines you are talking about. Based on quite a few instances and research work done on this particular topic, I think that the machines can indeed be categorized as conscious beings and in the following paragraphs I will be providing a couple of examples in order to support my argument.

James Watson was the founder of the DNA molecule which means that without him discovering that the scientist today wouldn’t be able to manipulate DNA . James Watson was someone open minded because when he was a kid, he would learn from his mistakes because he liked the subject science. In addition, when he was at school, he would like to listen to everyone and what they said about his mistakes he would improve and make sure that he wouldn’t make the same mistakes. During school, he would think about other people’s perspectives on the same subject they were learning in. After that, he went further with his studies and he went to the Indiana University and did really well as a student because when he was in Chicago he got a B.Sc degree in zoology

     Knowledge is gained only through experience, and experiences only exist in the mind as individual units of thought. This theory of knowledge belonged to David Hume, a Scottish philosopher. Hume was born on April 26, 1711, as his family’s second son. His father died when he was an infant and left his mother to care for him, his older brother, and his sister. David Hume passed through ordinary classes with great success, and found an early love for literature. He lived on his family’s estate, Ninewells, near Edinburgh. Throughout his life, literature consumed his thoughts, and his life is little more than his works. By the age of 40, David Hume had been employed twice and had failed at the family careers,

Think of a world where people actually use smart drugs and surgeries to get smarter. Sounds like a good world, right? In the story “Flowers for Algernon”, Charlie Gordon had an operation to make him intelligent. I personally do not think Charlie should have had the surgery. Some people disagree because they think that Charlie should have the surgery only because it has had positive results on animals, however, I do not think he should have had it. I think this because he became emotionally unstable, the surgery could have led to other illnesses, and he was happy without any worry about things before.

The Imitation game is an American Historical drama was directed by Morten tyldum. The movie was all about Alan Turing and hi works. Prominent members in the film were Alan Turing, his wife and other members. Alan Turing role was done by Benedict Cumberbatch. His wife role was done by Keira Knightley. Remaining Characters roles were done by Matthew Goode, Charles Dance, Mark strong and Rroy Kinnear. It is a historical drama. The scenes were shot at Bletchley Park located in Milton Keynes, England and the other part was shot at Alan’s school. The story is about Alan Turing life and his achievements.

Consciousness is the outcome of billions of years of natural selection and randomized occurrences that gave us life and the ability to be self sustaining, self controlling and self repairing. In terms of evolution we did not start with possessing a consciousness, in fact we developed one in order to became the humans we are today. What if in fact, robotic creation is the same, they are on their own evolutionary track of improvement and progression until a conscious state is achieved. In this paper I will argue there is no true opposing argument. I will highlight that there is a possibility for the garage built robot, Hal to have become a conscious entity because a machine being conscious does not contradict any

The Eightfold Path consists of eight components that lead to the dissolution of both of dissatisfaction, as well as cravings. The Eightfold Path leads to a way of living that is mindful, and can lead to enlightenment. The Eightfold Path can be broken into three categories. The first category is ethical conduct, the second is mental discipline, and the third is wisdom. Each of these aspects is essential to therapy, and none comes without practice. Each requires great mental training.

This excerpt reflects the way Sherlock Holmes’ mind works because he questions every specific detail given to reveal the mystery of The Hound of Baskervilles. Knowing that he questions every small detail means that he is a very observant man which tells us that he sees things that average people will normally miss. An example would be when Holmes denies Watson’s results and advises the owner of the cane is a country practitioner and the symbol C.C.H stands for Charing Cross Hospital. He also suggests the cane had to be presented to the owner on a special occasion like the man's retirement from the hospital. He assumes only a man who is young would retire from a prosperous city practice to move to an agricultural place. He goes onto suggesting

Berners-Lee’s contributions are used every day by billions of people. People tweet, research, play games, watch videos, learn—the list goes on and on. Without it I couldn’t take this online class. Berners-Lees’ contributions changed the world. Newspapers are read online, bills are paid online, even shopping for dog food can be done online. Information is faster to get and more readily available to people, it’s much easier to cheat in a game a bar trivia now. So many things are easier and more convenient, that some things are starting to fade. Fewer people memorize phone numbers, or check the paper, use encyclopedias, meet at a bar—a lot has changed. We’re living in the Information age, and the changes in society have reflect that.

Cognitive Information Processing (CIP), Cognitive Development and Interactional Development are theories of learning based upon the idea that learning is an internal process rather than merely something that can be observed like behaviorism. Here I examine the three theories as they relate to a scenario of a young man attempting to learn to play a keyboard. The objective is to show the similarities and differences in the three theories and how each can be applied to a given situation. As Kermit is an adult, some of the more specific elements may or may not apply and each theory has gaps in it that make it incomplete of itself. Yet, each also

Andy Clark, in Natural-Born Cyborgs, offers an extended argument that technology’s impact on and intertwining with ordinary biological human life is not to be feared, either psychologically or morally. Clark offers several key concepts towards his line of reasoning. Clark argues that a human being thinks and reasons based on the biological brain and body dynamically linked with the culture and technological tools transparently accessible to the human. This form of thinking and reasoning develops new "thinking systems" that which over time become second nature thoughts and reasons and are the basis of even newer "thinking systems." It is a repetitive cycle that continues forever being built upon previous systems.

In any film, there is always a deep mental process through the behavior of its characters. Why they do the things they do and how to give a detailed explanation on their behavior. The Imitation Game shows many examples of psychology perspectives to analyze and break down.

Our mind has view the world around us as a misdirection. Everybody can presume their surrounding differences from other. Describing our thought toward to other people can, have a different meaning in what they see. In the book of Blind spot there was illusion created by the psychologist Roger Shepard that was called the “Turing the Tables”. The purpose of the illusion was to show the different point of view that people have toward the tables, which the tables were created the same length. Therefore, pessimist versus optimist thought people might have toward to other human beings have come thought out generation of human. Arguing the point of describing yourself of not being judgment because we all judge before even setting with the situation.
