Project: The great enhancement debate
Let's have a dream about the future...
With the ongoing developments of sub-vocal comunication technology, such as the Audeo from Ambient Corporation, a possible domain in which intelligence enhancement may emerge can be realized. As the technology is in it's infancy, we can entertain ourselves with thoughts of extrapolated potentials.
If we assume that, in time, the technology advances to a point where a user of the product can comunicate comfortably, that in itself will change our world in a dramatic way. However, since we are here to dream, let's take this thought further...
Some of you may have read about the transitors that have been embedded into contact lenses. This is another exciting technology that is just in it's infancy, with critical issues, such as powering the devices, remaining to be solved. Again, amazing possibilities await. Imagine a screen that is always with you, augmenting your reality as you look at the world around you...
And what about Powerset's intent to revolutionaize our ability to search, using natural language processing to alow the computer to actually understand what we are searching for, rather than relying on keywords and tags.
So, we have three exciting technologies in their infancies: Sub-vocalized Communication, Bionic vision, and Semantic Search.
Now for the fun part, Let's dream....
Imagine all of these technologies mature, and are combined into one functional product, what might the capabilties be? How might this aid humanity? I am imagining being able to open up a browser in my vision, using only a thought (A sub-vocal command) and then asking a question to my favorite search engine, and having the answer appear infront of me.
Will this not be a remarkable increase in the immediacy of knowledge we all have access to and can share? Answers on the spot. Insta-info. How might this be able to change education, the Military, or gameshows?
The possibilties are endless....in a dream
