HAL (for Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer, no less) was a masterwork of the third computer breakthrough.
It was the highly advanced HAL 9000 computer, the brain and nervous system of the ship. The sixth member of the crew cared for none of these things, for it was not human.

You now have full manual hibernation control." Naturally, I will follow all your orders. I was only trying to do what I thought best. Hal's surrender was as total as it was unexpected. Unless you release the hibernation control immediately and follow every order I give from now on, I'll go to Central and carry out a complete disconnection."
I am so much more capable than you are of supervising the ship, and I have such enthusiasm for the mission and confidence in its success." "I know you have had that on your mind for some time now, Dave, but that would be a terrible mistake. Unless you obey my instructions, I shall be forced to disconnect you." "Hal," said Bowman, now speaking with an icy calm. I must, therefore, overrule your authority, since you are not in any condition to exercise it intelligently." "I'm sorry, Dave, but in accordance with special subroutine C1435-dash-4, quote, When the crew are dead or incapacitated, the onboard computer must assume control, unquote.
I order you to release the manual hibernation control." Why don't you take a stress pill and get some rest?" "I can tell from your voice harmonics, Dave, that you're badly upset. "Hal, switch to manual hibernation control." At that time, on the IBM 360/60 mainframe, each initial analysis of a sample required 85 seconds of processor time for each second of the sample being translated. In 1966, researchers Bhimani, Merrill, Mitchell, and Stark stated that a person sitting at a desk, could potentially, by means of a small digitizer and a telephone, communicate with a database on a mainframe. Just to give you some idea of how far-fetched this machine was, consider just the voice recognition capability of the HAL 9000.
