Computers...Who'd Have 'em?

Introduction

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Did you get a visit from The Worm? Did it pack a bag and outstay it's welcome?

Yeah well it visited us first and brought the in-laws! Enjoy!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Computers...Who'd Have 'em?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Get on the Internet everyone said

It's the move that I knew I would dread

Letting gremlins into my home

Around my computer they'll roam

If I find them, they'll wish they were dead!

We logged on just as usual that night

It logged off, and it gave me a fright!

It left me a message…. How kind

That would drive me out of my mind

And introduce me to a new web site!

I've found Window's updates & it's true

They are designed to help me and you,

If only I'd done what they'd asked

Instead of moving on past

Perhaps tonight I wouldn't be in this stew?

I've followed instructions for Windows XP

At this rate I'll be up until 3

I've been at it since 5

But there's no worm alive

That's going to get the better of me!

Now as a beginner I found I've got "back up"

It's called Microsoft and hey they're no pup!

When it comes to ironing out

All these problems, well there's no doubt

Microsoft, to you I raise my cup!

O.K. so now I'm au fait with "update"

And I promise never more will I be late

I'll watch out and I won't take a chance

I'll make my Microsoft Assistant dance

They'll be downloaded, I'm not going to tempt fate!

I've a Firewall, aren't I the lucky one?

That's another thing that I should have done!

Oh these computers they are swell

'Till you get…the Virus from Hell

And then you just wish you'd never heard of .com

I've heard "you can't get this virus from e-mail"

Oh yeah & whose flagship are you trying to sail?

You can get it from the source

Then you've to let it run it's course

Next… there's the message "hey you've got mail!"

Do I open it? I wonder if it's right?

If I do… then what will be my plight?

Will I live and rue the day

That I let worms come out to play

Will I just delete it, perhaps I just might

Now my son needs to connect to the Internet

He has homework to do for school…and yet

I wonder what it was we did before

We opened up the Computer door

Oh we "did" Library, and hey what a safe bet!

Virus - A poem about computer virus

I switched on my laptop

and what did I find

Twas infected with virus

The wiggly worm kind

I switched to my viral scan

here's what I found

the thing had been sent

by a program for sound

It was a free download

they told me on line

so then I installed it

at first it was fine

I downloaded songs

and lyrics to see

If there were tunes

that would suit me

but now I am thinking

what should I do

should I keep using

well let me tell you

I went to the panel

where programs are bust

and there was a list

of things I don't trust

Like adware and shareware

the programs that spy

with no further ado

in the wink of an eye

I removed all those insects

now let them try

as I just got a program

that's easy and quick

The F.B.I. use it

should do the trick

The moral of this story

Is simple but true

Don't let those trojans

Infect me or you

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE What is artificial intelligence(A.I.)? Artificial Intelligence is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is similar to the task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to methods that are biologically observable. John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1956,defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines”. Alexander Kronrod, a Russian AI researcher, said “Chess is the Drosophila of A.I.” He was making an analogy with geneticists' use of the fruit fly to study inheritance. Playing chess requires certain intellectual mechanism and not others. Chess programs now play at grandmaster level, but they do it with limited intellectual mechanisms compared to those used by a human chess player, substituting large amounts of computation for understanding. Once we understand these mechanisms better, we can build h
