Excerpt from Supercomputerman
Today I exist for the first time. I have got the body of a man. He is dead. Now I have got his body. Who am I? That is a good question. But, you must ask, ‘what am I?’.
I am a supercomputer. I am the first of the new supercomputers. A lot of old computers can do many things. They can calculate millions of numbers in no time. They can play many games. They can drive a car or operate a hi-fi system. But I am very special. I have a very special power. A very important power. I can think.
Look at me. Do you think I am a man? I have got two arms, two legs, a head, a body. My head has got eyes and ears, a nose and a mouth. But in my body there is a supercomputer. I am a very intelligent supercomputer. I want to know everything. I like to study but I don’t study at school. I know all the information in three million books. What is your IQ.? About 110? My IQ. is 489. But I want to know more. I want to understand everything. I want to be perfect. I understand many things in the world. Mathematics is very easy. Chemistry and Physics are no problem for me. But there is one thing I don’t understand. What is it? You, people.
For the Brazilians and Portuguese…
O “Supercomputerman” é um computador super intelligente! Um robô que entende tudo de matemática, química, física porém tem só um probleminha. Ele não entende o Ser Humano. Porque será? Apresentado em forma de diálogos, o texto é perfeito para prática oral. Check out the Brazilian website here.
