🎙️ Voice-controlled technology existed long before Siri and Alexa.

In 1961, IBM engineer William C. Dersch demonstrated “Shoebox,” an experimental machine that recognized the spoken digits zero through nine and six command words. It could send those commands to an adding machine and calculate simple arithmetic.

It wasn’t having conversations—but recognizing even 16 spoken words was a remarkable achievement at the time.

Why it matters today: Shoebox was an early step toward the voice assistants, automated phone systems and hands-free controls we now use regularly.

What was the first device you remember controlling with your voice?

My garage crew first character print is complete. Spark plug is 4 inches tall. They take a while to print but he looks good. I may try to do minis to see if they print faster. Not sure where I would sell them but it was fun developing them. More to come. Here is actual and concept. I’ll be printing the rest of the characters soon.

💬 People were debating whether machines could think back in 1950!

That year, British mathematician Alan Turing published Computing Machinery and Intelligence and described the “imitation game,” later known as the Turing Test.

The basic idea: a person conducts written conversations without seeing the participants and tries to determine which answers come from a human and which come from a machine.

Why it matters today: every time we question whether an AI-generated message sounds human, we are revisiting a challenge Turing posed more than 75 years ago.

Have you ever read something online and wondered whether a person or AI wrote it?

So, this happened today. My son and his mother and family and Jackie are in The Washington DC and they went to the. National Military Monument and what would ya know. I am listed there. I was so caught off guard by this and thankful she sent it but WOW. I don’t ever think about myself as anything other than just me working to do the best I can. Here I am on a digital display in Washington DC.

Thank you Danielle Lind Corrente for sharing this with me.

🧠 The roots of today’s neural networks go back to 1958!

That year, Cornell researcher Frank Rosenblatt demonstrated the perceptron—an early computer learning system inspired by how brain cells work together.

After 50 training attempts, it learned to tell whether a punch card was marked on the left or right. When it made a mistake, it adjusted its internal settings and tried again.

Why it matters today: modern AI uses far larger and more complex neural networks, but the basic principle is similar—make a prediction, learn from the error and improve.

Would you have believed this was possible in 1958?

“Respect is shown not only in how we speak, but in whether our teammates can count on us to do what we said we would do.”

Thought. Keeping commitments builds the trust that allows every part of our facilities team to work confidently together.

If you haven’t seen it because I barely post it. 🙄🙄😂😂 I have written a few books on AI. Here is one for those who don’t know where to start. They are on Amazon and the QR code will take you to my Authors Page where you can find and buy them. They are all step by step simple to read and learn about using AI in different ways.

🧠 “Machine learning” isn’t a new term—it dates back to 1959!

IBM researcher Arthur Samuel used it while developing a computer program that played checkers. The program recorded which board positions led to wins or losses and used that experience to improve its future decisions.

Why it matters today: modern AI is far more advanced, but the central idea remains familiar—a machine finds patterns in past information and uses them to make better predictions.

Did you think machine learning began in the internet era?

Social media is so crazy and GEN ❌. Say what you want and don’t care who’s sees it and don’t care who doesn’t like it. GEN ❌ doesn’t matter your age, you love the GEN ❌ way of life!!! We are awesome!!! Right???
