                  Since ancient times, humans have tried to be better than others and moved forward
                  with the creation of tools that aided them to stay ahead of every other living being. In
                  the attempt to make life easier, humans tried to make machines intelligent and smarter.
                  These days we have machines that can think and give responses close to a human being.

                  This is how the concept of smart machines came into existence. In this chapter, we are
                  going to learn how that change happened and how we came so far.
