What is it about this machine? Why is this machine so interesting? Why has it been so influential?

I remember reading an article when I was about 12 years old, I think it might have been in Scientific

American, where they

where they measure the efficiency of locomotion for all these species on planet Earth.

How many kilo calories did they expand to get from point A to point B?

And the Condor 1 came in at the top of the list,

surpassed everything else, and humans came in about a third

of the way down the list, which was not such a great showing for the crown of creation.

But somebody there had the imagination to test the efficiency of a human riding a bicycle.

Human riding a bicycle blew away the condor all the way off the top of the list.

And it made a really big impression on me that we humans are tool builders and that we can

fashion tools that amplify these inherent abilities that we have to spectacular magnitudes. And so for me a computer has always been a bicycle of the mind,

something that takes us far beyond our inherent abilities.

I think we're just at the early stages of this tool, very early stages, and we've come

only a very short distance and it's still in its formation, but already we've seen enormous

changes. I think that's

nothing compared to what's coming in the next hundred years.
