1 00:00:13,36 --> 00:00:19,30 I'm one man began been plagued by a limited ability to 2 00:00:24,51 --> 00:00:27,71 accurately predict the effect in the country posed action. 3 00:00:31,31 --> 00:00:35,35 Thanks. 4 00:00:37,67 --> 00:00:40,40 This is the result of his not being able to consider 5 00:00:40,40 --> 00:00:47,24 and relate all the factors in a problem evidence of this inability 6 00:00:47,24 --> 00:00:52,21 can be seen in the persistence of a certain kind of myth involving freeways 7 00:00:54,48 --> 00:01:01,41 in a frantic effort to reap immediate reward the first way is often to 8 00:01:01,41 --> 00:01:07,90 why the second usually ends to 9 00:01:07,90 --> 00:01:12,81 overcorrect our hero 10 00:01:12,81 --> 00:01:18,44 and consider him self lucky if after the last wave he ends up just where he started 11 00:01:21,01 --> 00:01:23,65 but there were men who which is were not only prudent. 12 00:01:23,86 --> 00:01:25,86 But had a habit of coming true. 13 00:01:28,68 --> 00:01:35,57 These men and women were artists and had certain characteristics in common. 14 00:01:37,92 --> 00:01:39,21 They were seldom bored with 15 00:01:39,21 --> 00:01:45,56 and they were constantly building up stores of information in active memory 16 00:01:45,56 --> 00:01:45,72 but 17 00:01:54,72 --> 00:01:59,86 when confronted with a specific meaning they would call on these memory banks. 18 00:02:01,97 --> 00:02:06,72 Which they would run through to the 19 00:02:24,83 --> 00:02:25,32 mechanic 20 00:02:33,21 --> 00:02:38,55 and they are conscious 21 00:02:40,10 --> 00:02:46,93 and the degree to which it is operative bright 22 00:02:48,53 --> 00:02:54,60 super bright numbers were 23 00:02:56,56 --> 00:03:03,44 but the values 24 00:03:03,45 --> 00:03:03,87 were given 25 00:03:11,12 --> 00:03:17,15 such measurement was an enormous learning 26 00:03:24,95 --> 00:03:25,31 problem. 27 00:03:27,79 --> 00:03:47,43 But the magnitude of the calculations in such relationship. 28 00:03:48,96 --> 00:03:49,92 In the world of numbers 29 00:03:57,80 --> 00:03:59,79 something that might make. 30 00:04:00,00 --> 00:04:05,69 Even our most elegant theories were the reason 31 00:04:08,74 --> 00:04:12,75 chronic calculator has already become a tool upon which much of our daily 32 00:04:12,75 --> 00:04:19,74 activities which is broaden the 33 00:04:19,74 --> 00:04:21,80 range of man's concepts and intuition. 34 00:04:22,30 --> 00:04:26,29 Much the way other tools to broaden range of communication 35 00:04:29,61 --> 00:04:34,94 or the phenomenal range of his control over. 36 00:04:34,95 --> 00:04:38,90 With the computer as with any two. The concept. 37 00:04:39,20 --> 00:04:42,78 Direction must come from the man. 38 00:04:42,80 --> 00:04:45,62 A task that is said and the data 39 00:04:45,62 --> 00:04:54,42 that is given is responsibility. 40 00:04:55,66 --> 00:04:59,67 This is information the proper use of it. 41 00:04:59,76 --> 00:05:05,38 Bring a new dignity properly related. 42 00:05:05,61 --> 00:05:08,00 It can maintain a balance between man 43 00:05:08,00 --> 00:05:15,00 and his resource information 44 00:05:15,00 --> 00:05:18,63 machine capable of storing processing 45 00:05:18,64 --> 00:05:25,25 and relating a vast quantity of information a process information 46 00:05:27,24 --> 00:05:33,65 can be made meaningful computers are generally 47 00:05:37,27 --> 00:05:38,44 first as a control 48 00:05:38,44 --> 00:05:45,34 or about as a function of design 49 00:05:47,63 --> 00:05:49,79 third as a simulation 50 00:05:49,79 --> 00:05:55,05 or model of life where we can see the effect before taking action 51 00:05:57,31 --> 00:05:59,87 or control or balance the calculator. 52 00:06:00,00 --> 00:06:06,88 Keeps our complicated system functioning determines the logistics of raw material 53 00:06:07,95 --> 00:06:12,06 inventory and history and performance of tools 54 00:06:13,82 --> 00:06:17,93 and of personnel production rate 55 00:06:17,93 --> 00:06:21,64 and quality public utilities rates 56 00:06:21,64 --> 00:06:29,38 and low cost accounting ramifications 57 00:06:29,39 --> 00:06:35,10 of the broadest possible 58 00:06:41,19 --> 00:06:47,28 as a function of design the calculator provides creative man a higher platform upon 59 00:06:47,28 --> 00:06:53,97 which to and from which the data processing the drudgery. 60 00:06:54,53 --> 00:07:01,19 But imposes broad responsibilities the designer must be able to state 61 00:07:01,19 --> 00:07:05,89 precisely what it needs to know this is not always so easy. 62 00:07:07,16 --> 00:07:11,86 He must formulate a general plan a procedure this plan 63 00:07:11,86 --> 00:07:14,62 or program takes the greater part of all the time involved. 64 00:07:16,64 --> 00:07:23,55 He must write a concise step by step list of instructions translated into a did 65 00:07:23,55 --> 00:07:24,28 just above code 66 00:07:25,63 --> 00:07:30,68 and feed it to the computer then he must provide the machine with all pertinent 67 00:07:30,68 --> 00:07:31,75 background information 68 00:07:31,75 --> 00:07:37,72 and related data the preparation may have taken months 69 00:07:39,80 --> 00:07:43,99 actual calculation hours or even minutes. But once set up. 70 00:07:44,21 --> 00:07:49,63 It can attack the problem with infinite variation trustworthy memory. 71 00:07:51,34 --> 00:07:56,25 Perhaps the most challenging use of the computer is the simulation of real 72 00:07:56,25 --> 00:07:59,87 situation. If for example a machine is. 73 00:08:00,00 --> 00:08:05,46 Properly programmed is provided with sufficient data concerning a chemical plant 74 00:08:07,99 --> 00:08:12,57 a computer begins to take functions of a working mathematical model of 75 00:08:12,57 --> 00:08:19,52 that chemical plant in which it is part of many 76 00:08:19,52 --> 00:08:23,88 possible courses of. 77 00:08:25,80 --> 00:08:30,66 Today there are working mathematical models of railroad system rocket engines 78 00:08:30,66 --> 00:08:34,83 complete reactor living community. 79 00:08:37,68 --> 00:08:42,28 The calculator is helping to define the most complicated problem. 80 00:08:43,70 --> 00:08:50,46 It is a tool for turning inspiration into fruitful production as an information 81 00:08:50,46 --> 00:08:56,53 machine done much to broaden the base of our growing concepts. 82 00:08:56,55 --> 00:08:59,71 But the real miracle is the promise 83 00:08:59,71 --> 00:09:03,15 that there will also be room for those smallest details 84 00:09:04,37 --> 00:09:07,25 that have been the basis for man's most rewarding. 85 00:09:10,55 --> 00:09:39,22 This is a story of a technique in the service of man.
