[00:04.49]Reading WHO AM I?
[00:09.25]I began only as a calculating1 machine in 1642 in France.
[00:16.51]Then in 1822 I was built as an Analytical2 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 technological3 revolution4!
[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 "universal5 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 intelligence6."
[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 transistors7 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 standing8 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 learned9 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 shot10 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
