:35:02
Neither have l.
:35:05
Yeah?
:35:08
Hi!
:35:10
- Where have you been?
- What?
:35:12
I haven't seen you all week in school.
Are you sick?
:35:17
No, no. I was...
:35:19
I was doing things.
You wanna sit down? How are you?
:35:22
- No. I'm going to get some water, OK?
- OK.
:35:25
- What is all that stuff?
- Oh, it's nothing. I was just...
:35:29
I was trying to find out about the guy
who designed those game programs,
:35:33
so I could get his secret password.
:35:35
- Why?
- Why? Cos...
:35:38
What's so special about playing
games with some machine?
:35:41
Oh, no...
:35:42
No, it's not just some machine.
:35:45
Here. Look at this.
:35:47
This is a tape that I got from the library.
:35:50
It's about this guy named Falken.
:35:53
He was into games as well as computers.
:35:56
He designed them so that
they could play checkers or poker.
:36:00
- Chess.
- What's so great about that?
:36:02
- Everybody's doing that now.
- Oh, no, no. What he did was great!
:36:06
He designed his computer
so it could learn from its mistakes.
:36:09
So they'd be better
the next time they played.
:36:12
The system actually learned how to learn.
:36:16
It could teach itself.
:36:18
If I could just get that damn password,
I could play the computer.
:36:24
That's him. That's Falken.
:36:28
That's him? Wow!
:36:31
He's amazing-looking!
:36:35
Can't you write to him
or call him somehow?
:36:37
No. He's dead.
:36:39
- He's dead?
- Yeah.
:36:41
Here. Look. Here's his obituary.
:36:45
- He wasn't very old.
- Well, he was pretty old. He was 41 .
:36:49
Oh, yeah? Oh, that's old.
:36:53
That's his little boy.
:36:56
Oh, yeah?
:36:58
This is really sad. Did you know the child
and his mother were killed in a car crash?
