Neuromorphic Computing: The Horizon

 

Remember when cellphones had keypad like a 1 2 3 maybe… You could call, text, maybe play snake on it … and it had about 6 megabytes of memory, which was a small miracle at the time. Then, phones got faster and around every two years, you probably upgraded your phone from 8 gigs to 16 to 32 and so on. This incremental technological progress we’ve all been participating in for years clings on to one key trend, called

CAPTCHA stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. The irony of using computing techniques to trick other computers isn’t really new leet-speak. CAPTCHAs’ goes all the way back to the early 1980s originated as a method of preventing content from being easily searchable and to work around obstacles like profanity filters. Modern CAPTCHAs’ did not come around until the late 1990s when the popular search at that time ‘The Alta Vista’ was trying
