A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM

HARD COPY

In information handling, the U.S. Federal Standard 1037C (Glossary of Telecommunication Terms) defines it is a permanent reproduction, or copy, in the form of a physical object, of any media suitable for direct use by a person, of displayed or transmitted data.

Examples of hard copy include teleprinter pages, continuous printed tapes, computer printouts, and radio photo prints. On the other hand, physical objects such as magnetic tapes diskettes, or non-printed punched paper tapes are not defined as hard copy by 1037C.

A file which can be viewed on a screen without printing it out is sometimes called a soft copy. The U.S. Federal Standard 1037C defines "soft copy" as "a non-permanent display image, for example, a cathode ray tube display."

WHAT IS DRAMA

KAI-FU LEE'S GUIDE

Love differentiates us from AI.

Despite what science fiction movies may portray, I can tell you responsibly that AI programs cannot love. They don’t even have feelings or self-consciousness.

AlphaGo may beat the world champion, but it has no fun playing the game, feels no happiness from winning, has no desire to hug a loved one after it wins.
