Medical scientists are already putting computer chips(芯片)directly into the brain to help people who have Parkinson’s disease but in what other ways might computer technology be able to help us? Ray Kurzweil is the author of the successful book The Age Of Intelligent Machines. He is also one of the world’s best computer research scientists. He is researching the possibilities.
Kurzweil gets computers to recognize voices. An example of this is Ramona the virtual hostess of Kurzweil’s website created by the computer who is able to understand what you say. Visitors to the website can have their own conversations with her. Ramona also dances and sings.
Kurzweil uses this technology to help people with physical problems. One of his ideas is a “seeing machine”. This will be “like a friend that could describe what is going on around ” he explains. Blind people will use a sensor(传感器)which will probably be built into a pair of sunglasses. This machine will describe to the person everything it sees.
Another idea which is likely to help deaf people is the “listening machine”. This invention will recognize millions of words and understand any speaker. The listening machine will also be able to translate what it hears into other languages so even people without hearing problems are likely to be interested in using it.
But it is not just about helping people with physical problems. Looking further into future Kurzweil sees a time when we will be able to store what we hear see and think in a computer. This technology probably won’t be ready for at least 50 years but when it arrives it means our minds will be able to live forever.
