Recommender system and electrical telegraph: what they have in common

  1. Step 1. Recommender system — uses — Artificial neural network. Preference models.
  2. Step 2. Artificial neural network — is used in — Brain–computer interface. Decoding.
  3. Step 3. Brain–computer interface — has part — Amplifier. A bioamplifier.
  4. Step 4. Amplifier — is part of — Hearing aid. An amplifier.
  5. Step 5. Hearing aid — evolved from — Telephone. The first electric hearing aids were built from telephone components.
  6. Step 6. Telephone — evolved from — Electrical telegraph. The telephone grew out of attempts to send several signals over telegraph lines (the “harmonic telegraph”).
