The picture aside (of unknown origin, perhaps from a student's periodical at Darmstadt Technical University sixties of last century) shows the evidence: Modern times obviously began with the computer!









The eggheads invented the artificial brain
made of iron and squiggled wiring
but it has neither warm blood nor life.
I put its thoughts into it,
Then it thinks wise like a thousand sages
what I order him by crucial elaboration.
Now it may count flies and midges
I only have to press the buttons.
