jan 2, 1967 - Frank Rosenblatt builds the Mark 1 Perceptron

Description:

It is the first computer based on a neural network that 'learned' though trial and error. Just a year later, Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert publish a book titled Perceptrons, which becomes both the landmark work on neural networks and, at least for a while, an argument against future neural network research projects.
