| What's Kurzweil's motive? He's a visionary who can deliver a finished product. I think he must have some pretty specific ideas, and he wants to partner with Google. A few guesses: - New interfaces to replace keyboard/mouse/touch. Voice, gesture, face, brainwaves. Sign language with humming, blinking, and pupil pointing. Works with tablets, TVs, wearables, cars, buildings, ATMs, etc. - SuperPets (r) that can pass the Turing test. And do the shopping. - Surgically implanted Bluetooth. (It could literally be a tooth!) - Hover skateboards. - The Matrix. (Or the 13th Floor, which was a better movie in my not-so humble opinion.) I don't think it'll have to do with life-extension though. That's just too crazy far out-there. |
Unfortunately, it turns out you can only get a limited number of bits out by looking at brainwaves (EEG). Gesture is much higher bandwidth, and keyboards seem to be the highest.
