There are many things I heard at MIT that I barely understood, including most of second-term Calculus.
In 1971, my friend Ken Pogran drew a diagram on a white board that basically outlined the Internet. I didn't understand.
In both listening to (mostly) and talking to (a few times) Patrick Winston and Marvin Minsky, they described the “rules-based” version of Artificial Intelligence. I remember one of them (not sure which) said it would take a million rules to give a computer the common sense of a 5-year-old.
