We are living in an extraordinary time when we are trying to recreate a human brain in machine. Human brain is the most sophisticated organ that nature has given us. Building something which can equal that is a very difficult feat to achieve.
Over the last few years, a lot of studies and findings have been done but that does not seem to be enough by any means. Our limited understanding of this complex organ makes it even harder to mimic all of its functions precisely. Yet, we are determined to make something that can at least be close to the real thing.
Technology landscape
Fig. 1 shows an analogue from the perspective of the technology landscape.
It shows that a personal computer and a wired internet connection can be used to connect to the external world.
The horizontal dimension in the figure shows that with the help of larger systems we are able to integrate data altogether on a large scale storage and process that data through cloud. The vertical direction contains the devices and technologies that provide a plethora of functionalities.
For example, our cell phones can sense, display, communicate via wireless systems and the internet while providing a great computational power for data processing applications. The computing domain can change from a static and virtual environment to the real world which is highly dynamic in nature. By combining these two dimensions we envision intelligent systems.
