From now to 2020, computer scientists expect to see an entire world blossoming over the internet: electronic commerce and banking, cyber malls, virtual universities and schools, cyber libraries, and so on. we will begin to have a glimpse of hawthorne’s vision when “intelligent agents” became part of this global network, capable of answering our inquiries in plain, conversational language. but the true fruition of hawthorne’s vision may not come until the period from 2020 to 2050, when true artificial intelligent (ai) programs will finally be added to the net, capable of reason, common sense, and speech recognition. select the most accurate summary of kaku’s argument. a. after a period of internet growth, programmers will refine the internet by adding intelligence. b. the internet will grow to include financial and educational institutions, and users will become more savvy. c. hawthorne’s vision of an intelligent internet will not be realized until artificial intelligence is invented. d. when malls and universities blossom on the internet, the global network will be capable of reason.

The correct answer is A. 

Programmers will clarify the Internet by adding intelligence after a period of Internet growth.  

In Michio Kaku’s vision, he compared the internet as a “magic mirror” where he meant the development of the internet would include research without the human input. 

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
