The fascinating insightful Kenley C. Vogt returns to finish up our discussion on computer history and why he wrote a book to teach kids the fundamentals of AI usage.

  • How cable companies added up old analog channels to bring you a fast Internet connection
  • Multiplexing: How fiber optic companies pass multiple signals through the same piece of glass
  • Why PC salesmen are so arrogant (Like economics, the industry is all man-made and arbitrary!)
  • How these power-hungry AI data centers will eventually (hopefully) give way to more distributed forms of computing
  • Why schools are always behind on technology, adopting it after the students have.
  • Why we should learn to do math without a calculator first, before learning to use it.
  • Why we should learn to think for ourselves before just diving in to AI.
  • How programmers need to STOP and THINK before acting!
  • Then finally we discuss his book: "The Adventures of AI and the Little Learners"
  • Can AI be my friend? How does AI work? Can I trust AI results? Will AI replace my teacher? How to use AI in the classroom?
