. . .since the birth of science.
:02:03
Not merely from the modern age
when our forebears created. . .
:02:07
. . .the first thinking machines,
primitive ones that played chess.
:02:11
How far we have come!
:02:15

At Cybertronics, the artificial being

The universally adapted Mecha. . .
:03:07

serving humans. . .
:03:10
. . .in all the multiplicity
of daily life.
:03:13
That's far enough.
:03:15
But we have no reason
to congratulate ourselves.

We are rightly proud of it.
:03:23
But what does it amount to?
:03:26
Sheila, open.
:03:46
A sensory toy. . .
:03:48
. . .with intelligent
behavioral circuits. . .
:03:52
. . .using neurone-sequencing
technology. . .
:03:55
. . .as old as I am.
:03:59
I believe that my work on mapping
the impulse pathways in a neurone. . .
