The Computer and The Brain

The saga of the Computer and the Brain started a long way back. Ever since the creation of the first eletronic calculator, man has dreamed of a perfect tool for man kind, a "thinking machine".

While we have found the perfect answer for a "thinking machine" in the modern computer, man still seeks a superior intelligence. Most of us today would know of this "superior intelligence" by the term, artificial intelligence ( A.I.) .

	The Aftereffect How would the impact of a "Superior intelligence" (if we suceed), affect us, our traditional society and our way of life? Would it be a blessing for mankind, a dawn of a new age or just mankind's white elephant.
