Someone who prefers to remain anonymous writes "We could yet talk to our dishwasher telepathically. Check out a story on BusinessWeek Online on the latest research into making interacting with computers and robots with thought possible. I thought it was interesting that more than half of scientific papers on this subject had been published in the past two years. This technology could, potentially, become commercially available in 5-10 years. There really isn't much new in the article, but it's a good summary piece of some of what's going on, and why the space has been getting so much attention lately. It seems like the 5-10 year estimate may be quite aggressive, despite the advancements that are happening. There's still a lot of work to be done, and much of it is going to be quite difficult.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
