CAN MACHINES THINK?

Machines work for man, replacing his muscles in certain jobs. Can machines also think for man, substi­tuting for his brain?

Machines now do 90 % of the work on a farm in hours instead of days. Utensils, once handmade by skilled craftsmen, come off modern assembly lines by the hundreds of thousands a month. Electric looms annually weave millions of yards of dress fabrics. An electronic computer makes it possible for a mathematician to solve, in a few minutes, a problem which it would have taken him months to work out on paper with a pencil.

Man has developed industrial and mechanical devices so complex that human beings can no longer con­trol production by hand. We have to continue to develop automatic controls for industry, business, education, and scientific research. This is a field of study known as cybernetics, a word which comes from the Greek, meaning «man at the helm», or «governor».

Automatic control is not new. An elementary example is the flyball. Perhaps you have seen a simple fyball governor like the one invented by James Watt in 1788. The flyball was to control the output of a steam engine. If the engine begins to run too fast, the outward swing of the ftyballs closes the steam input valve, cuts off the amount of steam, and slows the engine down. If, on the contrary, the engine slows down too much, the inward swing of the flvball opens the input valve and speeds up the engine.
