About
the Series
Not so long ago, if a person needed to add up a
complicated set of numbers, a pencil and paper had to be close at hand. Now,
calculators and computers do the work. Until recently, if a person lost a leg in
an accident, the person learned to live with one leg. Now, scientists have
created prosthetics that, with the aid of computer science, "think"
like our brains—and think so well that, with them, people can and have run
marathons.
