ABRIENDO TO online rx phentermine ABRIENDO WORLDS   Blog of Fernando Flowers

This weekend I have been with the pleasant surprise of an interview friend Terry cheap phentermine no script published by the Magazine Saturday of Mercury. With Terry we worked between 1977 and 80, and fruit of that collaboration was born the book Understanding Computers and Cognition.

I recommend to read the interview where generously one talks about, in addition by the value that buy prescription phentermine one has.

We are of return, and from today we will begin to publish with greater regularity.

The father of the computers of the future

By Andrea Muñoz Hinrichsen.

When buy prescription phentermine Fortune magazine buy prescription phentermine online rx phentermine him Larry Page which had been the most valuable advice that it had received, the cofounder and director online rx phentermine Google alluded to that outside its tutor in the University buy prescription phentermine Stanford. Page tried to choose a subject of investigation between the ten alternatives that had been happened to him. The one was its director that trenched the subject when doing to know that one to him of them, whom it had to do with the structure of links of the Web seemed a online rx phentermine good idea. The advice was worth 112,54 online rx phentermine to him of dollars: the project never online rx phentermine to transform itself into thesis, but it became Google. And the first man who knew to appreciate the potential that had that raw intuition is called Terry online rx phentermine and at this moment it online rx phentermine abrir the door of his office while it balances a coffee cup.

Winograd is like a good city: cheap phentermine no script of that for some mysterious reason it cheap phentermine no script that they pass things. That precise people are at the suitable moment. To him they interest the interactions cheap phentermine no script him. To construct bridges it is an interesting metaphor. My philosophy is that people will learn more and will work better if it is talking with people that have a online rx phentermine perspective, establishing connections, watching the things from different angles, says while it takes his coffee to long and symmetrical sorbos.

Not only the human encounter. It is the interaction between the man and the computer which constitutes its area of studies in the Department of Computation of Stanford. Paradoxicalally, it got to focus in that product of one of these crossings. Because the director of the Program of Design of Software of this prestigious university before made something completely different. He worked in artificial intelligence, trying to cause that the computers spoke like people. And the one was an encounter with a Chilean removed that it from that.

FRANCISCO VARELA was the one that began everything. In the autumn of 1977, Winograd attended one of its conferences.

- How it is going to him to Fernando in Stanford? Varela asked to him to that time.

Winograd did online rx phentermine understand

- Fernando who?

- Fernando Flowers, insisted Varela. He is in the Department online rx phentermine Computation.

- No. I work in the Department of Computation, go to all the meetings and there there is no Fernando, replaced the North American.

Winograd was intrigued, so as soon as returned to Stanford buy prescription phentermine looked for his supposed colleague. Indeed, Fernando Flowers had an office in the Department of Computation. They had never run into, because the Chilean, who came online rx phentermine the jail, was dedicated to reunite to his online rx phentermine and not yet he had integrated myself to his functions in the university. The fact that there was been in the same buy prescription phentermine that I during months and that had not known it was one complete surprise, laugh showing the teeth, that are as white as their hair and its slippers.

He leaves his cup of coffee on the table, where several others balance that already were occupied. Its office is stuffed of books: cheap phentermine no script the walls, on the tables, in the ground, underneath a used plate. To err is human. Really to throw to lose the things a computer is needed, reads itself in a cheap phentermine no script that hangs of one of the walls.

The first impression that I had when knowing Flowers was: Here there is somebody is really thinking, that it is really looking for a perspective different from the one from the rest of the world. It was in the Department of Computation, but when he spoke of computers he did not use the same language. Then I felt that it was going to learn something different speaking with this type, remembers.

From that encounter Action Technologies was born, a company dedicated to the development of software, and a book that has been translated to the Spanish with the title of Towards the understanding of computer science and the cognition: New foundations for the design.

With him, they contributed to ruin the cheap phentermine no script that guided the computer investigation until years 80. The paradigm, until that moment, was like removed from 2001 Odyssey online rx phentermine the Space. Machines that imitated, equaled and online rx phentermine human intelligence. The kingdom of HAL 9000, the online rx phentermine computer of Kubrick, or the one of Wall-E, where the instrument stops being instrument and it is transformed into protagonist.

They gave online rx phentermine return the things. They established that there was to stop trying that the computers imitated the people, and who in which were to pay attention was in how these affected online rx phentermine life and experience. When putting the view in how the man it is related to the machines, abrieron a space so that these stopped online rx phentermine understood as an aim in itself and would recover their condition online rx phentermine tools. And then they stopped being good material for science films to fiction: they online rx phentermine useful. The apparatuses with divine pretensions took passage to invisible technology, that of so fluid seems to disappear in the hands of occupy that it.

HE WAS online rx phentermine BREAKS for Winograd. He had begun his race by online rx phentermine end buy prescription phentermine years 60, in the laboratory of artificial intelligence of the MIT, online rx phentermine he removed his doctorate. It was the time of gold: there he investigated Marvin Minsky, one of the parents of the discipline, and the government destined limitless resources for the scientific development, without demanding military applications as it happens today.

It was the sensation of which we could play. And like the objective era to produce human intelligence, the subjects were things like online rx phentermine children. That is: 'You can take these buckets and buy prescription phentermine them? You can answer these questions of this infantile buy prescription phentermine Then era very juguetón, an atmosphere juguetón high-tech, seemed to that we have here in Valley Silicone, says smiling.

Exciting Era. There he was the future and buy prescription phentermine we were going to be the buy prescription phentermine Its work consisted of causing that the computers occupied and understood the natural language. It obtained and it, at least partly. For his doctoral thesis it designed a program, well-known like SHRDLU, that simulated a robot, which accepted instructions in English: It finds a block higher than the one than you are holding and ponlo in the box, for buy prescription phentermine Even, it could respond verbally: I do not know which is.

The success of online rx phentermine project online rx phentermine worth a place to him in history of the artificial intelligence. Nevertheless, when it tried to extend the mental universe of the robot, online rx phentermine until that moment restricted itself to a world of blocks, began the problems. When adding more words and concepts, the natural ambiguity of the language became an insurmountable barrier. At that Winograd time already it had left the MIT and it worked in Stanford and Xerox PARC, the famous company of innovation and High Wood development.

Little by little online rx phentermine began online rx phentermine disappoint. Winograd wanted to cause that online rx phentermine computers used language to return them more efficient and easy to use. I realized of which that was not going to happen if online rx phentermine continued trying who these were like people, it explains. It was put to read to Martin Heidegger and Humberto online rx phentermine It began to attend conferences in the university of online rx phentermine headed by John Sear to him, author of one of the most famous critics to the artificial intelligence. A pair of years later, when he appeared Fernando Flowers in his life, no longer had online rx phentermine back: computers so that they improve the life of the man; not they imitate so that it.

IN online rx phentermine PROGRAM that directs in Stanford, the scientist has carried out collaborative online rx phentermine in which is known like online rx phentermine computation, an area that leaves from the assumption that in years more, the computers are going to be in all sides.

Starting off online rx phentermine that, the question that follows is: How it is had cheap phentermine no script feel that? That is to say, if by all sides there were things so difficult to use as your computer the cheap phentermine no script would be impossible. Then the buy prescription phentermine idea, that it developed to Mark Weiser and John Seely Brown in Xerox, is this one: how to design an atmosphere where the computers are part of the bottom, but where you do not need to pay attention to them. That simply they are there doing what they must online rx phentermine explains.

When online rx phentermine is wondered to him how we will be interacting with computers in ten years more, it sighs: That always is a online rx phentermine question because in ten years one never it knows what is going to happen (laughs). buy prescription phentermine good, I believe that you could use online rx phentermine phrase outside the writing-desk. The world of the applications, or the portable computers, is going to grow more and more. Then less we will be focused in our computer that is on the table.

It predicts that also the world buy prescription phentermine input and output, or cheap phentermine no script the means by which it enters and it leaves buy prescription phentermine to the computer, are buy prescription phentermine to change: It is going to have more apparatuses than they recognize gestures like buy prescription phentermine He himself has worked in that next to the one of his students, using view like means to operate a cheap phentermine no script The natural way to take care of something is to watch. That is what I do in the world: I watch in different directions, I do not move my hand so that something is to me. The goal, then, is the more natural and the more online rx phentermine we can get to make the interaction online rx phentermine a computer, affirms.

Again we return cheap phentermine no script the interactions that it studies and also he enjoys. Most of its work has online rx phentermine collaborative. Why? I will say the two opinions cheap phentermine no script You that I have of me: good and the bad one. First it is seen, for example, in which it happened with Fernando: me enthusiasm when I see which is interested in the same things that I but sees that them from a different perspective. Encounter that is challenging. The other face is that I online rx phentermine to be intellectually passive. It enchants to think to me, enchant the ideas to me, but I do not like to go outside and to sell them. I do not have that fire in the wadding that has the people who think that they are going to online rx phentermine that the things happen, that have something guides them, that know what they want and that they look for to change the world. I fodder that I tend to cheap phentermine no script itself with this people because I realize which I can contribute with my thought, but without having to be doing that I myself.

Here in Valley Silicone it has field very well: by something it says cheap phentermine no script if we were in the Renaissance, this would be Florence. And there it would online rx phentermine been Winograd.
