    In computers, there has been a big contrast from the twentieth century to the twenty-first century. The word computer was first used in 1613, describing a person who performs calculations in their head. In 1943 the Turing Machine was created by Alan Turing for theories about computing and computers. This device printed symbols on paper. Then, in the early twenty-first century, companies created computers that can surf the internet, let people create word documents, and play games. As time goes

    neurons come together to form an intricate net, known as a neuronet, in order to form thought patterns. Testing Intelligence (Turing test) Alan Turing, in a 1951 paper, proposed a test called "The Imitation Game" that might finally settle the issue of machine intelligence. The first version of the game he explained involved no computer intelligence whatsoever. The Turing test is a proposed test of a computer's ability to think, requiring that the covert substitution of the computer for one of the
