		medical page, computer senility affects AI computers left alone too long, lowering the machine's intelligence while at the same time seriously affecting their ability to operate at anywhere near full capacity.
		The way people seem to interact with computers and the internet seems to fall into two main categories which can be roughly equated with these two portrayals of hyper-intelligent computers.

		Richard Holway, director of Ovum Holway, and Philip Virgo, strategic advisor to Imis, will argue that the explosive growth phase of computing is over and IT will now settle down to a profile similar to other industries.
		Charles Ross, past chairman of the Real Time Club, and Karl Schneider, editorial director of Computer Weekly, will stress the potential of computing - that IT is in its infancy and we have barely scratched the surface of what imagination, investment and drive will make possible.

		MIT set the bar very high for these courses, creating a required course (6.001) and a textbook (Abelson and Sussman's Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs) which were used at dozens or even hundreds of top CS schools as the de facto introduction to computer science.
		As useless as the concept of function currying may be to the real world, it's obviously a prereq for CS grad school.
