AnnotationsAnnotationsMarch 24, 2008 Fasten Your Seatbelts…Interesting artilce by Matthew Barakat, Associated Press that appeared in USA Today: “WASHINGTON — Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates said Thursday he expects the next decade to bring even greater technological leaps than the past 10 years”…MORE I have always said that my idea of the perfect computer is like the one they have in Star Trek. You know, the one that makes sure the ambient room temperature is just right for you and can make you the perfect cup of your favorite tea. A machine that is always to happy to answer questions like “Computer, tell me about the mating rituals or the Jagadomi?” or “How far from Octuras am I right now?” The computer then responds in a well modulated, pleasant voice providing you with a wealth of knowledge and insights and then make you another cup of tea. If things progress the way Mr. Gates is suggesting, my ideal is close to being a reality. I always believe that the journey is half the fun of getting “there,” I just hope I can keep up!
