Every year, IBM Corporation chooses five new technologies it believes will change the world within the next five years. The IBM list is called “Five in Five. ”When identifying the technologies the company considers its own research and the new directions of society and business.
This year, the list describes some future devices that will work with our five senses. Imagine looking for clothes online and touching your computer or smartphone to feel the cloth. IBM predicts that such a technology can be available in the next five years.
Touch is just one of the senses that computers will help to exploit. IBM says smart machines will soon be able to listen to the environment and give us information about the sounds they hear. For example, a speech recognition system will tell new parents why their baby is crying. From the sound the baby is creating you know the difference between a child for example who is sick as opposed to a child who is just lonely. That kind of understanding would be great for parents.
Smart machines will also help to identify medical conditions. If you sneeze on your computer or smart phone, the machine will study thousands of molecules in your breath. Then it can tell you whether you need to see a doctor.
In the near future, built-in cameras in our personal computers will be able to examine and name colours and recognize images. IBM scientists are also developing a computer system that can examine and combine food molecules to create the most popular flavours and smells.
Some leading computer science professors hope the progress that IBM is predicting will lead more talented students to create future inventions.
They believe that advances in computer technology will make what now seems like science fiction a part of our everyday lives.
