Bird-brained computers
To call someone "bird-brained" means you think that the person is silly or stupid. But will this description soon disappear from use in the light of recent research? It seems the English may have been unfair in associating birds' brains with stupidity.
In an attempt to find out how different creatures see the world, psychologists at Brown University in the USA have been comparing the behaviour of birds and humans. One experiment has involved teaching pigeons to recognize letters of the English alphabet. The birds study in "classrooms", which are boxes equipped with a computer. After about four days of studying a particular letter, the pigeon has to pick out that letter from several displayed on the computer screen. Three male pigeons have learnt to distinguish all twenty-six letters of the alphabet in this way,
A computer record of the birds' four-month study period has shown surprising similarities between the pigeons' and human performance. Pigeons and people find the same letters easy, or hard, to tell apart. For example, 92 per cent of the time the pigeons could tell the letter D from the letter Z. But when confronted with U and V (often confused by English children), the pigeons were right only 34 per cent of the time.
The results of the experiments so far have led psychologist Donald Slough to conclude that pigeons and humans perceive in similar ways. This suggests that there is something fundamental about the pattern recognition process, if scientists could only discover just what this pattern recognition process is, it could be very useful for computer designers. This advantage of a present day computer is that it can only do what a human being has programmed it to do, and the programmer must give the computer precise, logical instructions. Maybe in the future, though, computers will be able to think like human beings.

THE COMPUTER HACKER GOES ON TRIAL
On November 2, 1988 Cornell University graduate student Robert Morris went on trial. He was accused of having caused thousands of computers across the country to stop. They had stopped because he had unleashed a "worm"*, a tiny program that, copies itself into other programs and diskettes and spreads through computer networks. Otherwise a. worm is called a "virus". While some viruses are mere pranks, others may contain destructive "time bombs". A time bomb meant here a computer program that on a certain date performs a task such as printing a message or more harmfully, destroying data.
Morris's trial under a 1968 federal computer-crime law began last week in Syracuse, N.Y. it appears that Morris's act has brought out a clash between two very different cultures in computer science. On the one hand, the computing world is dominated by those in business science and national security who find themselves deeply dependent on computers in everything they do. The smooth running of their systems is important to business. On the other hand, there are hackers, criminal-minded computer programmers. They hold that the best way to improve a computer system is to toy with it and expose its weak points.
The public are sharply divided over whether Morris is a hero or a criminal. Morris's lawyer argued that no great harm was doneto the computer. He explains that the young student in computer science was merely running an experiment that spun out of control because of a programming mistake. But the prosecution is portraying Morris as a responsible person who has deliberately attacked computer and caused them to shut down. If Morris is found guilty, he faces a 250.00 dollar fine and up to five years in prison.
Morris is not the first to suffer from the computer-crime laws. More than 100 people have beenconvicted since 1987. Most of them have been accused of sabotaging or destroying data. All states but one have the same kind of laws. At least three new bills are being considered at Congress.
