What he came to discover was, simply, that such a device could not exist. An exceptional speaker at the first conference organized by Science Gallery Venice, last April 27 at the scientific center in Mestre, Faggin presented his model of reality, a world in which awareness is the basis of nature itself. The Italian inventor's research led him to discoveries far more revolutionary than the technology behind the famous 4004, but the most important conclusion he reached is certainly one: a computer can never be conscious.
