Some questions posted by the class after Lecture 1, September 27, 2016

•    I know that every letters or numbers can be expressed by 0,1, but how can they not mess up when combing together? For example a letter is expressed as 001, and another is expressed as 110; together it is 001110. How can you say whether it is 001/110 or 0011/10?
•    Why did it took so long to create the first computer based on that computing was created during the 17th century?
•    How similar is the nature of human's mind to that of a program?
•    How are humans and other biological computers programmed in similar ways to a typical electronic computer system?
•    Why must a computer read data only in terms of two symbols? Why must it use a simple formal language rather than a natural one?
•    To what extent is computing and the computing thought process used with regard to further research in artificial intelligence?
•    How does defining and computing things using only two digits work, and how was it discovered?
•    Can biological computers be thought of as transformers as well, due to their ability to adapt and evolve to the needs demanded by their environment?
•    Can you make a computer more "programmable" even after it is constructed? Like memory to download more software, applications, features?
•    Can the programmability of different computing devices differ? And if so, what determines a computer’s programmability? Is it the hardware, software, programmer, user, or none of the above?
•    How often do computations make better choices than humans? Or is the human variable beneficial in computing in some equations?
•    How can we compare the way a human processes information to the way a computer does?
•    How does biological computing work?
•    Where does a machine end, and a computer begin?
•    With the invention of artificial intelligence, will computers still have limitations since they have the ability to learn?
•    Computing existed since a long time ago, but how did it change throughout history?
•    You said that integers are a constant regardless of human relativity, but I wonder how they could possibly be a constant or anything at all without relativity?
