Over time I have been changed quite a lot. I began as a calculating machine in France in 1642. Although I was young I could simplify difficult sums. I developed very slowly and it took nearly two hundred years before I was built as an analytical machine by Charles Babbage. After I was programmed by an operator who used cards with holes, I could "think" logically and produce an answer quicker than any person. At that time it was considered a technological revolution and the start of my "artificial intelligence". In 1936 my real father, Alan Turing, wrote a book about how I could be made to work as a "universal machine" to solve any difficult mathematical problem. From then on, I grew rapidly both in size and in brainpower. By the 1940s I had grown as large as a room, and I wondered if I would grow any larger. However, this reality also worried my designers. As time went by, I was made smaller. First as a PC (personal computer) and then as a laptop, I have been used in offices and homes since the 1970s. These changes only became possible as my memory improved. First it was stored in tubes, then on transistors and later on very small chips. As a result I totally changed my shape. As I have grown older I have also grown smaller. Over time my memory has developed so much that, like an elephant, I never forget anything I have been told! And my memory became so large that even I couldn't believe it! But I was always so lonely standing there by myself, until in the early 1960s they gave me a family connected by a network. I was able to share my knowledge with others through the World Wide Web. Since the 1970s many new applications have been found for me. I have become very important in communication, finance and trade. I have also been put into robots and used to make mobile phones as well as help with medical operations. I have even been put into space rockets and sent to explore the Moon and Mars. Anyhow, my goal is to provide humans with a life of high quality. I am now truly filled with happiness that I am a devoted friend and helper of the human race!

我 是 谁？
1642年我在法国诞生时不过是一台计算机器。后来到1822年，查尔斯•巴比奇把我制成了一架分析机。我执行穿孔卡的指令。我知道这听起来很简单，但是在那个时候这却是一项技术革命！我真正的父亲是艾伦•图林，他1936年曾写过一本书，书中描述了使计算机工作的方法，并且他还制作了一台“通用机器”来解决数学问题。早些时候我并不很大，但是后来我变得非常大！可是，人们认为我头脑简单，直到发现我有人工智能时，他们才不这么想了。人工的！我不知道人们在说什么。不管这些了，咱们还是回过来讲我的历史吧。那时候，我的体积有一个大房间那么大！随着岁月的流逝，我被做得越来越小了。
20世纪60年代我有了新的晶体管之后，就没有人能认出我来了。有段时期我的体积完全改变了。我变得又小又薄，但是我越来越聪明，速度越来越快。我的存储容量变得如此巨大，连我自己都不能相信！但是我总是孤孤单单地站在那里，直到60年代初，人们才给了我一个用网络联成的家庭。我可以同那些和我一样的伙伴分享信息，我们之间还可以彼此交谈。大约在同时，我们学到了用BASIC语言和人类交谈。在20世纪70年代，我们被带进人类的家里。从那时起，我和我的家族成员被亿万人用来处理信息，并通过因特网在世界范围内彼此沟通。我喜欢被相距遥远的人们用来彼此联系。从我出生以来，我就是真心实意地为人类服务而构建自己的。

I began only as a calculating machine in 1642 in France.Then in 1822 i was built as an Analytical Machine by Charles Babbage. I followed instructions from cards with holes. I know this sounds very simple,but at that time it was a technological revolution! My real father was Alan Turing,who in 1936 wrote a book to describe how computers could be made to work,and built a"universal machine"to solve any mathematical problem.Earlier i was not very big, but then i became huge!However,people thought i was simple-minded until they discovered i had "artufucal intelligence".Artifical! I didn't know what they were tklking about.Anyway,let's go back to my history.Then I was the size of a large room! As the years have gone by, I have been made smaller and smaller.
No one could recognize me after i got my new transistors in the 1960s. There were times when my size was totally changed.I became small and thin but i got cleverer and cleverer, quickerand quicker. And my memory became so large that i couldn't believe it! But i was always so lonely standing there by myself,until in the early 1960s, they gave me a family connected by a network. I coulded share information with others and we could talk to each other. At about the same time we learned to talk to humans using BASIC.I was brought into people's homes in the 1970s. Since then, my family and i have been uesd by billions of people to deal with information and commumicate with each other around the world by the Internet,I love being uesd to connect people who aren't close enough to speak to each other. I have truly been built to serve the human race since my birth.
