Deep Learning is the latest buzz word in Artificial Intelligence…computer networks that have as many if not more neural pathways than the human brain. The implications of this are computers which can autonomously self repair, self replicate, apply “common sense” to complex problems, predict and pre-empt situations and scenarios which are way beyond human comprehension. Its applications can be used in transport, defence, education, space exploration, domestic appliances, healthcare, finance, entertainment and culture. Both more accurate and faster than the human brain, including those which programme them. Software engineer Martin Ford, author of “Rise of the Robots” offers a free online book about this new development. A tad technical but if you want to know what’s going on your world before the computer does you’re advised to take a peek. Link below:
A friend recommended, and lent, me a book called ‘Sweet Rosie O’Grady’ by Joan Jonkers, which I have
just finished. What I would term, without being denigrating, I hope, a “woman’s book”. A nice heartwarming
story of LIverpool life in the 30s and 40s. Not really my genre, as I prefer psychological thrillers, but it made
a pleasant change.

Amazon offer a very useful feature by way of a free Kindle app download for tablet/laptop or PC
Its a good app, in fact I’m currently reading a book on it now. I’m a Prime member & as part of that you get at least one but sometimes more free books each month to read. Most you can download to your kindle if you’d prefer but some you can only read via the app.
Its also a great way to share your collection with family & friends, as they can use the app to sign in to your account (as long as you trust them to have the password which gives access to your whole Amazon account). You are limited to the number of devices you can have attached to a single account.
