Summary
This page, stamped as evidence for the House Oversight Committee (HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015914), appears to be an excerpt from a book or essay titled 'Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?'. It features an image of a MakerBot 3D printer and text discussing the history of computer architecture (von Neumann vs. Harvard), the roles of companies like Intel and ARM, and the basic definition of software programs. The text cuts off mid-sentence at the bottom of the page.

Research Laboratory. The laptop I am writing on uses the von Neumann architecture, and most modern computers evolved from it. By contrast, mobile phones are descended from the Harvard architecture developed by IBM and first supplied to Harvard University in 1944, hence its name. The distinction in architectures has blurred over the years. The world supports two main computer chip technologies, one built for desktop and laptop computers, designed by Intel in Santa Clara, California, and the other, designed for mobile devices by ARM, in Cambridge, England. All these computers can, in principle, run any piece of software.
Programs
Software is just a series of numbers. When you click an icon on your desktop, the computer reads the number and interprets it as a series of instructions. There is a decoder inside the computer that knows the number '1' means add the next two digits and the number 5493 means display them on screen and so on. On my computer the operating system, Apple’s OSX, takes the number, decodes it and passes it to the CPU for
