In the 21st century, people use the internet and Artificial Intelligence as a basis for learning about the world and interacting with it. This interaction uses hardware.
For centuries leading up to the end of the 20th century, widespread knowledge was based on books. Printed books came about because of the invention of the printing press in Europe in the 1400s. People interacted with books. These books were made with thick paper, animal skins, and heavy twine to hold them together. This “hardware” of books and the “software” of ideas within them were relatively portable. Such portability is similar with our phones, tablets and ultra-small computers.
Could these books be called Artificial Intelligence? That is, the books were produced by a kind of machine — a printing press — and people interacted with the books. The wide-spread use of manufactured books was the embryo of our internet. And Artificial Intelligence?
