Ma intereseaza in mod deosebit unul din 1986. Este povestit de un nene pe un site si as vrea sa-l vad. Daca il are cineva, il rog sa-mi spuna si mie.
Iata descrierea:
“Part of Apple’s presentation shows a 21st-century “knowledge navigator,” a computer-generated talking head, catering to the wishes of its user, a white male college professor. This “intelligent software agent” is remarkably good at what it does, but therein lies the difficulty: some of the transactions in which the navigator collaborates are distinctly unsettling. With the help of his software agent, the human user makes an intrusive call to a female colleague and breezily enlists her to lecture his class on a subject he has not bothered to read up. When the agent calls up a display predicting massive drought in sub-Saharan Africa, its user appears more impressed by the ingeniousness of the computer simulation than he is with the fact that the shifting colors on the screen spell slow death for thousands. Though the professor seems the real villain of the piece, his electronic agent seems little better than a yes-thing. The lesson seems to be that a “knowledge navigator” is only as good as the company that keeps it. ”
