What were we thinking as we created the computer revolution? Was it good for humanity? Thoughts of a Reformed Computer Scientist is a search for intelligence across multiple facets of the human condition—religion and science, evolution, and innovation.
Jim Morris’s memoir covers his sixty-year career in Computer Science and weaves the reader through the complex land of computer technology and the nuanced world of human behavior. From his days as a student, a professor, and an innovator at Carnegie Mellon, MIT, and Xerox PARC to recent AI advances Morris describes his work and his enthusiasms along with several Turing Award winners and tech entrepreneurs and ultimately asks us to ponder what they were thinking as they created the computer revolution.
As if computers were not powerful enough, scientists are developing quantum computers which will enable them to solve many exponential problems like factoring numbers. David Deutsch, a theoretical quantum physicist, conceived a reformulation of Turing’s universal machine idea for quantum computers: “Every finitely realizable physical system can be perfectly simulated by a universal (quantum) computing machine operating by finite means.” His reasoning depends on explaining quantum phenomena by a theory of infinite parallel universes. He claims that a virtual reality system using a universal quantum computer will be able to give you nearly any experience that the real world could.
