and solved very quickly.

- How fast? - Very, very fast.

Much faster than could a human being.

- As a calculating machine. - Mmm ... No, no, it's much more than that.

What we are trying to build a machine that can learn things

and eventually think for herself.

Dammit!

It's not exactly a robot, not a brain-not as a human brain.

It is what we call digital computer.

And have you thought about that?

Yeah, something like that.

- Must be interesting work well. - Yes it is.

- I could not be more so. - Not bad.

Would you like to eat something? There is a cafe down the street.

No, I can not...

- No, really, ah ... - Never mind. It's okay. No, I can not...

- No, really, ah ... - Never mind. It's okay.

Can it be another time?

If, according. When?

- This weekend? - Would you like?

- How about Friday night? - All right.

- You come to my house? - Agree.

All right. This is the address.

Come to my house. Will you know to come here?

Yes, I can find it.

All right. Come around seven, and you prepare dinner.

- Good cook, huh? - Do not give me wrong.

What is your name?

- Ron. - Alan.

- It's made a real mess. - What?

This place. - It's made a real mess. - What?

This place.

I have never seen such a mess.

And what are all those things in the bathroom?

Potassium cyanide poison.

I try to make a herbicide.

For what?

To kill weeds.

Well, buy one. You can afford it.

But I like to do things! It's fun!

What made you start all this?

Your interest in science and stuff. What made you start all this?

Your interest in science and stuff.

It has always interested me.

Even when you were a kid? It has always interested me.

Even when you were a kid?

Even then. Yes, even then.

When I was a child, the numbers were my friends.

- Do not! - My friends!

You know how kids have their secrets imaginary friends.

Friends that you can always trust.

Dolls, teddy bears ... still dressed as babies.

My friends were the numbers. Because they are wonderfully reliable.

They never break their own rules.

Then, when I was nine or ten years

I was given a book called Christmas

"Wonders of Nature that every child should know".

I thought it was the most exciting book I had ever read.

I think it was a soft to the facts of life introduction.

Something about watching some eggs, I remember.

But what the whole book could convey was

the idea that life, all life,

It is actually a large and comprehensive enterprise of science.

It is not necessary to appeal to God or the Divine Creation.

All science:
minerals, plants, animals, humans.

"The body is a machine," he said.

Oh, how exciting was read! What novel,
