Seen on a mouse pad....The search for Artificial Intelligence is the quest to make real computers behave the way they do in Science Fiction....
One day it'll happen, but I hope I'm not around when it does... Remember the speach from Terminator 2... "Sense Net becomes self-aware at 12:37 A.M. on July 3rd.... " and look what THAT started!! LOL!!
I'd be happier with the development of Direct Neural Interface tech... I keep hoping that William Gibson is right, on so many levels...
