Bitcoins

Bitcoin is an online commodity based on a encryption protocol. hey are subdivided into 100 million smaller units called satoshis. They are transferred to a computer or handheld device without an intermediate financial situation. It's purpose is to serve as money, which can be accepted by certain merchants in many parts of the world. It's confusing to understand how they work. Using cash is very easy. Writing a check or using a credit card isn't too hard either. Are bitcoins the same as using a credit card? It's easy to tell how much a dollar bill is worth, but a bitcoin might have a different value. Inflation could happen with this new kind of money. I think our currency should stay the same.

A Computer That Teaches Itself

As a way to pick up the pace in research and development, military researchers are trying to find a way to program computers so they can make easier automatic tools and to have computers teach themselves. The company, DARPA, is not happy with the way machine learning is being done today. Machine learnings makes the computers like humans when it comes to decision making. Machines like that are often seen in science fiction movies. In the movies, machines with a mind of their own can take over the world. It would be intresting to have that kind of technology. If self learning computers do exist, research and development can go faster. the military can get their informaton about the enemy in time to make a move against them. Weapons can be made quicker if needed. Self learning computers can be either a good thing or the beginning of the end.
