　　The Internet

　　Internet was born 40 years ago, in a lab at the University of California, Los Angeles. Today it wraps the entire planet and features in the daily routine of more than 1.5 billion people. But do you know hte following facts and information about the computer?

　　Could the Net Become Self-aware?

　　In engineering terms, it is easy to see qualitative similarities between the human brain and the Internet's complex network of nodes (节点), as they both hold, process, recall and transmit information. "The Internet behaves a fair bit like a mind, "says Ben Goertzel, chair of the Artificial General Intelligence Research Institute. " It might ready have a degree of consciousness".

　　Not that it will necessarily have the same kind of consciousness as humans; it is unlikely to be wondering who it is, for instance. To Francis Heylighen, who studies consciousness and artificial intelligence at the Free University of Brussels in Belgium, consciousness is merely a system of mechanisms for making information processing more efficient by adding a level of control over which of the brain's processes get the most resources. Adding consciousness is more a matter of fine-tuning and increasing control than a jump to a wholly different level," Heylighen says.
