Slide 8/Narration
| Hybrid computer consists of analog computer and digital computer which are interfaced with wire. | |
Human brain has a right hemisphere and a left hemisphere which are connected with a corpus callosum for communication between the both hemispheres. They are acting as a single brain. A patient whose corpus callosum was cut can make a pattern recognition of, say, a horse with his right brain, but cannot speak a word "horse" out from his left brain. This patient can build blocks neatly and orderly with his right hand which is controlled by his left brain, but his left hand which is controlled by his right brain destroys it dis-orderly, though not deliberately. | |
Global village has Orient and Occident. Both need to be connected with satellite and other telecom media. We call this a "Rainbow Bridge Across the Pacific" between the Eastern and Western cultures. As the corpus callosum has numerous channels between the two hemispheres, the more the telecom bridges is the better. As extending the analogy of the hybrid computer to a human brain further, it would be an urgent need and task of the U.S. and Japan to jointly build a corpus callosum between Eastern and Western cultures with global computer communication network with satellites. |
