[00:04.49]Reading              WHO AM I?

[00:09.25]I began only as a calculating 1 machine in 1642 in France.

[00:16.51]Then in 1822 I was built as an Analytical 2 Machine by Charles Babbage.

[00:25.57]I followed instructions from cards with holew.

[00:30.62]I know this sounds very simple,

[00:34.77]but at that tine it was a technological 3 revolution 4!

[00:40.52]My real father was Alan Turing,

[00:44.98]who in 1936 wrote a book to describe how computers could be made to work,

[00:52.74]and built a "universal 5 machine"to solve any mathenatical problem.

[00:59.59]Earlier I was not very big,but then I became huge!

[01:06.66]However,people thought I was simple-minded

[01:11.52]until they discovered I had"artificial intelligence 6."

[01:16.98]Artificial! I didn't know what they were talking about.

[01:22.91]Anyway,let's go back to my history.

[01:27.75]Then I was the size of a large room! As the years have gone by,

[01:35.40]I have been made smaller and smaller.

[01:39.66]No one could recognize me after I got my new transistors 7 in the 1960s.

[01:46.92]There were times when my size was totally changed.

[01:52.38]I became small and thin but I got cleverer and cleverer,quicker and quicker.

[02:00.84]And my memory became so large that I couldn't believe it!

[02:07.40]But I was always so lonely standing 8 tere by myself

[02:13.28]until in the early 1960s,they gave me a family connected by a network.

[02:21.64]I could share information with others and we could talk to each other.

[02:27.98]At about the same time we learned 9 to talk to humans using BASIC.

[02:34.85]I was brought into people's homes in the 1970s.

[02:40.18]Since then,my family and I have been used by billions of people

[02:46.64]to deal with information

[02:50.48]and communicate with each other around the world by the Internet.

[02:56.40]I love being used to connect people

[03:00.98]who aren't close enough to speak to each other.

[03:05.73]I have truly been built to serve the human race since my birth.

[05:19.09]Reading and speaking

[05:25.36]ANDY --- THE ANDROLD

[05:29.20]I'm part of a football team.

[05:32.96]About once a year,we are allowed to get together to play a football game.

[05:39.72]I'm as big as a human.In fact,I look like one too.

[05:46.07]On the football team,I'm a striker,so I can run very fast.

[05:53.02]My computer chips help me to move and think like a human.

[05:58.95]I need to shout in computer language to my teammates to give me the ball

[06:05.32]when I'm open and have a good shot 10 for a goal.

[06:10.36]I first competed in Nagoya.Japan.

[06:15.12]Last year our team went to Seattle,Washington in the USA.

[06:21.07]Our team got second place.

[06:24.91]Personally,I think the team who won first place cheated.

[06:30.87]They had a new kind of program,

[06:34.84]which had just been developed before the competition.

[06:39.57]I need to tell my programmer to improve my intelligence.

[06:45.00]I think we can work together to create an even better system.

[06:50.04]In face,I would really like to play against a human team sometimes.

[06:56.52]In a way,my programmer is like my coach.

[07:01.56]She programs me with all the possible moves

[07:04.65]she has seen while watching human games.

[07:09.01]Then she programs possible moves that I can use if a new situation arises.

[07:16.66]In this way,I can make up new moves.

[07:21.63]After all,with the help of my computer brain which never forgets anything,

[07:28.89]intelligence is what I'm all about
