Amazing 1946 sci-fi computer story

A Logic Named Joe.

I ran across this some time ago. There is also a radio dramatization that embellishes on it a bit. This is a sci-fi story written by Murray Leinster that was first published in the March 1946 issue of Astounding Science Fiction.

It predicts pretty well the presence of pc's in every home and the internet.

It's funny how the "scifi" stories come closer to being true than the actual predictions of what life would be like.

That is because real life is really a big fantasy where a lot of non-sense and crazy thing take place.

As you can see, predictions is come from logic, and logic is base on all the information that is given. But the thing is there are too much that we can't see, (which we can't put them into logic.)
