1 00:00:15,589 --> 00:00:13,270 one cannot speculate for very long about 2 00:00:17,750 --> 00:00:15,599 life in the 21st century without 3 00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:17,760 mentioning the computer 4 00:00:21,429 --> 00:00:20,320 since the early 1940s its amazing 5 00:00:23,830 --> 00:00:21,439 development 6 00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:23,840 has influenced our discoveries our 7 00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:26,160 progress our knowledge and most of all 8 00:00:30,870 --> 00:00:28,800 the way we think 9 00:00:32,389 --> 00:00:30,880 by looking ahead to the future of 10 00:00:35,350 --> 00:00:32,399 computing 11 00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:35,360 we can glimpse our own future 12 00:00:39,430 --> 00:00:36,880 and in thinking about the machines of 13 00:00:40,869 --> 00:00:39,440 tomorrow we must also ask ourselves 14 00:00:42,549 --> 00:00:40,879 questions like 15 00:00:44,790 --> 00:00:42,559 where do we want to be 16 00:00:46,150 --> 00:00:44,800 what kind of society do we want what do 17 00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:46,160 we want to do 18 00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:49,440 what changes must we make 19 00:00:53,910 --> 00:00:50,640 just as 20 00:00:56,869 --> 00:00:53,920 sharing a network amplifies the power 21 00:00:59,910 --> 00:00:56,879 and intelligence of individual computers 22 00:01:01,750 --> 00:00:59,920 so too dialogue amplifies and extends 23 00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:01,760 human vision 24 00:01:04,710 --> 00:01:03,280 with this in mind we at the lewis 25 00:01:07,750 --> 00:01:04,720 research center 26 00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:07,760 offer our hopes and our dreams about the 27 00:01:12,789 --> 00:01:10,240 future of computing 28 00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:12,799 by sharing just a few of the many 29 00:01:16,789 --> 00:01:15,520 diverse perspectives that exist 30 00:01:18,950 --> 00:01:16,799 we hope 31 00:01:20,550 --> 00:01:18,960 to begin a provocative chain of thought 32 00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:20,560 that begins with you 33 00:01:56,230 --> 00:01:22,880 the viewer of this dialogue 34 00:01:59,670 --> 00:01:57,350 i think 35 00:02:03,429 --> 00:01:59,680 everything's going to come down to to 36 00:02:05,749 --> 00:02:03,439 information and communication computers 37 00:02:08,790 --> 00:02:05,759 today are about the same stage that the 38 00:02:10,710 --> 00:02:08,800 automobile was in about 1915 or so and 39 00:02:11,990 --> 00:02:10,720 the networks are going to have to expand 40 00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:12,000 in the same way that the highway system 41 00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:13,680 has expanded since then the most 42 00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:15,840 important component 43 00:02:20,070 --> 00:02:17,920 of division of the future 44 00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:20,080 is the emerging 45 00:02:28,150 --> 00:02:22,800 information super highway 46 00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:28,160 operate at 2.4 47 00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:30,640 gigabits per second 48 00:02:36,470 --> 00:02:34,400 that's 2.4 almost two and a half 49 00:02:39,110 --> 00:02:36,480 thousand million 50 00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:39,120 bits per second 51 00:02:43,990 --> 00:02:41,280 this highway will have 52 00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:44,000 entrance and exit ramps that will reach 53 00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:48,160 into every facet of your life 54 00:02:54,070 --> 00:02:50,720 this highway 55 00:02:55,589 --> 00:02:54,080 unlike the concrete highway that carries 56 00:02:57,430 --> 00:02:55,599 your car 57 00:02:59,350 --> 00:02:57,440 will be composed 58 00:03:01,350 --> 00:02:59,360 of fiber optics 59 00:03:03,589 --> 00:03:01,360 i just kind of picture that that most 60 00:03:05,350 --> 00:03:03,599 people will just have 61 00:03:07,350 --> 00:03:05,360 kind of the equivalent to a to a hand 62 00:03:10,229 --> 00:03:07,360 calculator that will just patch them 63 00:03:12,309 --> 00:03:10,239 into the local network wherever they 64 00:03:14,550 --> 00:03:12,319 happen to be just because of their 65 00:03:15,830 --> 00:03:14,560 their presence to it in the future i 66 00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:15,840 think 30 years from now you'll see a 67 00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:18,560 combination of a telephone and a 68 00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:21,120 computer probably in 69 00:03:25,509 --> 00:03:23,280 in 20 or 30 years 70 00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:25,519 everyone will have a pc 71 00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:27,599 then like we carry around credit cards 72 00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:28,480 now 73 00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:30,720 maybe they'll even be that small 74 00:03:35,509 --> 00:03:32,640 i remember looking at the cartoon the 75 00:03:38,149 --> 00:03:35,519 jetsons and for some reason i have in my 76 00:03:40,149 --> 00:03:38,159 vision that eventually that would 77 00:03:43,830 --> 00:03:40,159 actually happen to where computers would 78 00:03:46,229 --> 00:03:43,840 be everywhere something that part of you 79 00:03:48,789 --> 00:03:46,239 will respond to you it will respond to 80 00:03:51,509 --> 00:03:48,799 voice commands we respond to motion 81 00:03:53,990 --> 00:03:51,519 we'll respond to video 82 00:03:55,509 --> 00:03:54,000 it will be an extension of you as a 83 00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:55,519 human being 84 00:03:59,589 --> 00:03:57,280 it'll just be all around us and we won't 85 00:04:01,509 --> 00:03:59,599 even think about it anymore 86 00:04:03,589 --> 00:04:01,519 i think the classroom of the future 87 00:04:06,149 --> 00:04:03,599 won't be in one place 88 00:04:08,550 --> 00:04:06,159 we've all heard about 89 00:04:11,190 --> 00:04:08,560 distance learning 90 00:04:14,309 --> 00:04:11,200 in most aspects this is still 91 00:04:16,629 --> 00:04:14,319 in pilot project form 92 00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:16,639 i imagine with the super highway i 93 00:04:21,349 --> 00:04:18,959 vision or my vision is 94 00:04:22,710 --> 00:04:21,359 it will be part of our way of doing 95 00:04:25,110 --> 00:04:22,720 business 96 00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:25,120 as we are able to provide 97 00:04:29,909 --> 00:04:27,040 remote communication 98 00:04:33,189 --> 00:04:29,919 and remote methods of access and much 99 00:04:35,590 --> 00:04:33,199 more user-friendly access the librarian 100 00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:35,600 will no longer be needed to 101 00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:38,000 identify what types of information to 102 00:04:41,749 --> 00:04:40,240 collect but more 103 00:04:45,030 --> 00:04:41,759 they will be needed to collect 104 00:04:47,749 --> 00:04:45,040 information beyond the factual level 105 00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:47,759 towards the knowledge level at oai one 106 00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:49,199 of the things that we've started to do 107 00:04:53,110 --> 00:04:51,040 is to put in a television classroom at 108 00:04:55,110 --> 00:04:53,120 each of our member universities 109 00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:55,120 distances will disappear 110 00:04:59,030 --> 00:04:58,160 we are linking together students 111 00:05:00,950 --> 00:04:59,040 here 112 00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:00,960 at in the workplace at nasa lewis 113 00:05:05,590 --> 00:05:03,680 research center and instructors and 114 00:05:07,830 --> 00:05:05,600 students 115 00:05:08,830 --> 00:05:07,840 at universities all over the state if 116 00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:08,840 you 117 00:05:15,670 --> 00:05:13,120 have team members who are located at 118 00:05:18,070 --> 00:05:15,680 geographically separated distances 119 00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:18,080 and can be connected so that 120 00:05:22,550 --> 00:05:20,400 they really feel like they are together 121 00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:22,560 it's got to help it's just got to add to 122 00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:24,400 this this ability 123 00:05:29,189 --> 00:05:26,160 on demand 124 00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:29,199 you will form dialogue groups 125 00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:31,520 well beyond anything that group 126 00:05:36,790 --> 00:05:34,320 philosopher plato ever envisioned as he 127 00:05:38,710 --> 00:05:36,800 lectured his student aristotle 128 00:05:40,150 --> 00:05:38,720 i think you see in the world today that 129 00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:40,160 there's more of a common global 130 00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:42,880 understanding and maybe a lot of the 131 00:05:46,390 --> 00:05:44,479 barriers that we have international 132 00:05:59,110 --> 00:05:46,400 barriers will begin to melt at least i 133 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:15,430 so 134 00:06:19,029 --> 00:06:18,230 the ability to design 135 00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:19,039 a 136 00:06:25,670 --> 00:06:24,240 going to free us up with the computer 137 00:06:27,990 --> 00:06:25,680 freeing up 138 00:06:30,629 --> 00:06:28,000 the engineer in the sense that his 139 00:06:33,189 --> 00:06:30,639 wildest thoughts can be tested out in a 140 00:06:34,469 --> 00:06:33,199 sense of reality will free him almost 141 00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:34,479 from the rigid 142 00:06:39,590 --> 00:06:37,440 constraints of of the past 143 00:06:41,189 --> 00:06:39,600 you may have a theory you may have an 144 00:06:43,029 --> 00:06:41,199 equation or formula that tells you how 145 00:06:45,189 --> 00:06:43,039 something is supposed to behave 146 00:06:47,110 --> 00:06:45,199 but most people i know can't visualize 147 00:06:49,110 --> 00:06:47,120 formulas very effectively it would be 148 00:06:52,710 --> 00:06:49,120 very nice to be able to have a system 149 00:06:54,950 --> 00:06:52,720 for example a truly intelligent computer 150 00:06:57,029 --> 00:06:54,960 system that allowed you to interact with 151 00:06:59,430 --> 00:06:57,039 a with the computer capabilities that 152 00:07:00,629 --> 00:06:59,440 you have both symbolic and numeric and 153 00:07:02,390 --> 00:07:00,639 graphic 154 00:07:04,629 --> 00:07:02,400 on a high level it is what you might 155 00:07:07,029 --> 00:07:04,639 want to really like to do is go into a 156 00:07:09,749 --> 00:07:07,039 rotating engine if you could in a 157 00:07:11,510 --> 00:07:09,759 numerical model and perhaps using a 158 00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:11,520 glove 159 00:07:14,629 --> 00:07:12,400 or 160 00:07:16,309 --> 00:07:14,639 your body walking through the engine and 161 00:07:18,870 --> 00:07:16,319 positioning through it to see a 162 00:07:21,110 --> 00:07:18,880 graphical image of whether it's pressure 163 00:07:25,270 --> 00:07:21,120 data temperature data accelerometers 164 00:07:27,350 --> 00:07:25,280 velocimeters displacement transducers 165 00:07:29,990 --> 00:07:27,360 whatever phenomenon physical phenomena 166 00:07:33,029 --> 00:07:30,000 you're trying to see to see a graphical 167 00:07:35,510 --> 00:07:33,039 image or video image of that data as you 168 00:07:37,589 --> 00:07:35,520 would move around through the engine i 169 00:07:39,749 --> 00:07:37,599 envision some kind of holographic type 170 00:07:41,909 --> 00:07:39,759 workstation where you'll have 171 00:07:43,510 --> 00:07:41,919 an imaging setup where you'll actually 172 00:07:45,990 --> 00:07:43,520 see engineering models in the 173 00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:46,000 three-dimensional form and that that 174 00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:47,520 might change a little bit exactly 175 00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:49,120 instead of having a monitor you're gonna 176 00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:51,440 more have more or less have a stage 177 00:07:55,430 --> 00:07:53,440 where a lot of these things will be uh 178 00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:55,440 projected and you might even be able to 179 00:08:00,790 --> 00:07:58,319 do tests and run them and see the 3d 180 00:08:02,390 --> 00:08:00,800 holographic image move into animation 181 00:08:04,790 --> 00:08:02,400 while you're doing some kind of test on 182 00:08:06,550 --> 00:08:04,800 it we're already seeing some changes in 183 00:08:08,790 --> 00:08:06,560 that because you can do parametric 184 00:08:10,790 --> 00:08:08,800 studies with mathematical models you 185 00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:10,800 very seldom do parametric studies in the 186 00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:12,400 experiment anymore 187 00:08:17,110 --> 00:08:15,120 you do experiments very carefully with 188 00:08:19,589 --> 00:08:17,120 lots of instrumentation and you do a few 189 00:08:21,990 --> 00:08:19,599 experiments very very well instead of 190 00:08:23,830 --> 00:08:22,000 doing lots of different experiments 191 00:08:26,309 --> 00:08:23,840 where you would just change a parameter 192 00:08:28,390 --> 00:08:26,319 slightly and rerun the experiment you 193 00:08:29,990 --> 00:08:28,400 also use mathematical models and 194 00:08:31,909 --> 00:08:30,000 computers to 195 00:08:34,790 --> 00:08:31,919 predict where the interesting phenomena 196 00:08:36,709 --> 00:08:34,800 will occur i think that the future of 197 00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:36,719 computers to predict the performance of 198 00:08:41,909 --> 00:08:39,279 liquid chemical rocket engine systems 199 00:08:43,829 --> 00:08:41,919 entire systems from tank to nozzle exit 200 00:08:46,070 --> 00:08:43,839 is very promising and we'll be able to 201 00:08:47,110 --> 00:08:46,080 do some amazing technical things at that 202 00:08:48,790 --> 00:08:47,120 point 203 00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:48,800 people already are doing 204 00:08:53,590 --> 00:08:51,440 some some calculations with the direct 205 00:08:55,910 --> 00:08:53,600 numerical simulation of turbulence and 206 00:08:57,350 --> 00:08:55,920 transition types of studies for 207 00:09:00,070 --> 00:08:57,360 navier-stokes equations you'll be able 208 00:09:01,990 --> 00:09:00,080 to do that for chemically reacting flows 209 00:09:03,350 --> 00:09:02,000 you'll be able to do very complex 210 00:09:05,110 --> 00:09:03,360 problems 211 00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:05,120 one of the projects that's going on at 212 00:09:09,110 --> 00:09:07,200 lewis right now is this project of 213 00:09:11,350 --> 00:09:09,120 trying to simulate an entire jet engine 214 00:09:13,509 --> 00:09:11,360 as it's running we'll have a much better 215 00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:13,519 handle i think on on 216 00:09:18,790 --> 00:09:16,800 methods of failure and materials on on 217 00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:18,800 things that allow us to design things 218 00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:19,760 design 219 00:09:24,949 --> 00:09:23,440 objects airplanes spacecraft whatever 220 00:09:27,269 --> 00:09:24,959 a lot more cutting edge in the sense 221 00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:28,470 we can make things strong where they 222 00:09:31,829 --> 00:09:30,560 need to be strong we don't need to put 223 00:09:33,670 --> 00:09:31,839 excess weight where they don't need to 224 00:09:35,670 --> 00:09:33,680 be heavy i do see 225 00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:35,680 developing as time goes on and is 226 00:09:40,389 --> 00:09:37,680 starting to happen now is a change in 227 00:09:42,550 --> 00:09:40,399 the way we develop algorithms 228 00:09:44,790 --> 00:09:42,560 in particular what i'm talking about 229 00:09:46,870 --> 00:09:44,800 first is that if you're going to specify 230 00:09:48,150 --> 00:09:46,880 the algorithm explicitly you would be 231 00:09:50,470 --> 00:09:48,160 writing a 232 00:09:52,470 --> 00:09:50,480 dealing with a program which is writing 233 00:09:54,630 --> 00:09:52,480 the program that his programs will be 234 00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:54,640 writing programs to the extent that 235 00:09:59,750 --> 00:09:57,440 computing can model and help us 236 00:10:02,070 --> 00:09:59,760 understand and deal with irrational 237 00:10:02,949 --> 00:10:02,080 things fuzzy logic neural network 238 00:10:04,710 --> 00:10:02,959 whatever 239 00:10:07,430 --> 00:10:04,720 i'm not sure what those will be but i 240 00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:07,440 think the challenge for computing is 241 00:10:12,150 --> 00:10:10,320 in modeling what goes on in the world 242 00:10:14,470 --> 00:10:12,160 computing particularly high performance 243 00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:14,480 computing offers us a chance of 244 00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:16,560 investigating those concepts 245 00:10:19,910 --> 00:10:18,160 another thing that it allows us to do 246 00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:19,920 which we weren't able to do in the very 247 00:10:23,030 --> 00:10:21,360 early days 248 00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:23,040 is to work together 249 00:10:28,150 --> 00:10:25,360 in teams when we're not living together 250 00:10:30,470 --> 00:10:28,160 or at least co-located in teams with 251 00:10:31,990 --> 00:10:30,480 high-speed networking and with powerful 252 00:10:34,069 --> 00:10:32,000 workstations 253 00:10:35,990 --> 00:10:34,079 it's possible to carry on a conversation 254 00:10:37,990 --> 00:10:36,000 among four or five people right through 255 00:10:39,990 --> 00:10:38,000 the uh the computer 256 00:10:41,350 --> 00:10:40,000 where ideas can be bounced off each 257 00:10:42,310 --> 00:10:41,360 other and 258 00:10:45,509 --> 00:10:42,320 tested 259 00:10:46,870 --> 00:10:45,519 and with simulation of what's actually 260 00:10:48,790 --> 00:10:46,880 going to happen 261 00:10:49,990 --> 00:10:48,800 ideas can be tested 262 00:10:50,790 --> 00:10:50,000 quickly 263 00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:50,800 and 264 00:10:55,509 --> 00:10:53,680 that makes it kind of neat it's it's the 265 00:10:56,949 --> 00:10:55,519 ability to do things that not only are 266 00:10:57,990 --> 00:10:56,959 going to be cheaper to do now that we 267 00:10:59,590 --> 00:10:58,000 couldn't do 268 00:11:00,949 --> 00:10:59,600 but in ways we can get information that 269 00:11:03,110 --> 00:11:00,959 we couldn't have gotten 270 00:11:05,990 --> 00:11:03,120 and so we can make decisions based on 271 00:11:31,190 --> 00:11:06,000 more information now with the computing 272 00:11:38,470 --> 00:11:35,670 i i have seen computing change from uh 273 00:11:40,949 --> 00:11:38,480 from the card program calculator where 274 00:11:44,310 --> 00:11:40,959 you had those horrible cards to what 275 00:11:46,550 --> 00:11:44,320 we're having now we put the cards uh in 276 00:11:48,790 --> 00:11:46,560 a uh in a tray and be picked up in a 277 00:11:50,550 --> 00:11:48,800 truck from the deb and carried over to 278 00:11:51,829 --> 00:11:50,560 the 10 by 10 where the computer was and 279 00:11:54,150 --> 00:11:51,839 then run 280 00:11:56,710 --> 00:11:54,160 and then transported back one of the 281 00:11:59,750 --> 00:11:56,720 first big machines we got was the 704 282 00:12:01,829 --> 00:11:59,760 that had 32k 283 00:12:04,230 --> 00:12:01,839 words of 36 284 00:12:07,990 --> 00:12:04,240 words of memory 285 00:12:09,910 --> 00:12:08,000 and that now i can get on a pc for about 286 00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:09,920 less than two thousand dollars at that 287 00:12:14,310 --> 00:12:12,160 point we paid a good deal of money for 288 00:12:15,750 --> 00:12:14,320 that machine 289 00:12:16,949 --> 00:12:15,760 and thought we had something really 290 00:12:20,230 --> 00:12:16,959 great 291 00:12:22,230 --> 00:12:20,240 we had theories and theories 292 00:12:25,190 --> 00:12:22,240 always were far ahead of what we were 293 00:12:27,350 --> 00:12:25,200 capable of doing and in less than five 294 00:12:29,590 --> 00:12:27,360 years most of the theories were all 295 00:12:34,150 --> 00:12:29,600 caught up with in terms of the calculate 296 00:12:38,310 --> 00:12:34,160 the computers as of today i think that 297 00:12:40,470 --> 00:12:38,320 we're seeing the the seeds of a 298 00:12:42,550 --> 00:12:40,480 different type of machine that i think 299 00:12:43,829 --> 00:12:42,560 is going to become 300 00:12:45,509 --> 00:12:43,839 much more 301 00:12:47,910 --> 00:12:45,519 predominant in the future and the seeds 302 00:12:49,750 --> 00:12:47,920 i'm referring to is the infant work in 303 00:12:51,670 --> 00:12:49,760 neural networks so 304 00:12:52,710 --> 00:12:51,680 what you're looking for is a symbiosis 305 00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:52,720 between 306 00:12:57,910 --> 00:12:54,880 the number crunching capabilities of 307 00:12:59,750 --> 00:12:57,920 current day computers 308 00:13:02,389 --> 00:12:59,760 the qualitative decision making 309 00:13:03,990 --> 00:13:02,399 capability of expert system 310 00:13:06,790 --> 00:13:04,000 style ai 311 00:13:07,910 --> 00:13:06,800 and then the intuition 312 00:13:10,150 --> 00:13:07,920 sort of 313 00:13:13,509 --> 00:13:10,160 that neurons can capture 314 00:13:15,750 --> 00:13:13,519 then you have something that 315 00:13:16,870 --> 00:13:15,760 starts to look like and behave like 316 00:13:19,430 --> 00:13:16,880 perhaps 317 00:13:22,069 --> 00:13:19,440 like us humans do with 318 00:13:24,150 --> 00:13:22,079 one side of our brain being the logical 319 00:13:25,030 --> 00:13:24,160 decision maker another side uh bringing 320 00:13:29,110 --> 00:13:25,040 the 321 00:13:30,629 --> 00:13:29,120 brain that specialize in areas i see a 322 00:13:32,389 --> 00:13:30,639 parallel computer doing the same sort of 323 00:13:34,629 --> 00:13:32,399 thing a part of the parallel computer 324 00:13:37,670 --> 00:13:34,639 would handle the vision part part would 325 00:13:39,750 --> 00:13:37,680 handle the number crunching part 326 00:13:41,509 --> 00:13:39,760 it would specialize in different areas i 327 00:13:43,430 --> 00:13:41,519 think we're going to be moving to arena 328 00:13:45,269 --> 00:13:43,440 where you won't ask 329 00:13:48,550 --> 00:13:45,279 questions relative to the speed of a 330 00:13:51,269 --> 00:13:48,560 machine or its memory but how fast can 331 00:13:53,430 --> 00:13:51,279 it learn you could almost send him to 332 00:13:55,910 --> 00:13:53,440 training or to school 333 00:13:58,150 --> 00:13:55,920 maybe overnight with computer speeds 334 00:13:59,590 --> 00:13:58,160 and they would become a technician in 335 00:14:02,470 --> 00:13:59,600 some limited 336 00:14:04,389 --> 00:14:02,480 area of application the society of these 337 00:14:05,269 --> 00:14:04,399 technicians working together in various 338 00:14:06,710 --> 00:14:05,279 fields 339 00:14:08,470 --> 00:14:06,720 then we have another 340 00:14:09,990 --> 00:14:08,480 level of 341 00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:10,000 collective 342 00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:12,240 pseudo or virtual intelligences 343 00:14:18,710 --> 00:14:14,240 operating together and where my role is 344 00:14:20,790 --> 00:14:18,720 in that of course is to utilize them and 345 00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:20,800 input my creativity which will be very 346 00:14:25,509 --> 00:14:23,440 hard to duplicate in machines we have 347 00:14:27,350 --> 00:14:25,519 two eyes two ears and that's all we 348 00:14:29,509 --> 00:14:27,360 really can hear and see and we basically 349 00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:29,519 have one line of language in our mind we 350 00:14:33,509 --> 00:14:30,880 can't listen to six or seven 351 00:14:35,509 --> 00:14:33,519 conversations at once this machine would 352 00:14:38,069 --> 00:14:35,519 could and would handle just tons of 353 00:14:40,150 --> 00:14:38,079 input you will have a 354 00:14:42,550 --> 00:14:40,160 very capable companion 355 00:14:44,389 --> 00:14:42,560 not given certain sense but you'll have 356 00:14:46,310 --> 00:14:44,399 a much bigger memory if you ever have 357 00:14:49,110 --> 00:14:46,320 and recall 358 00:14:51,110 --> 00:14:49,120 we can be able to make decisions much 359 00:14:53,670 --> 00:14:51,120 faster than you can 360 00:14:55,509 --> 00:14:53,680 using millions of facts instead of four 361 00:14:58,230 --> 00:14:55,519 or five that you can juggle in your head 362 00:15:01,750 --> 00:14:58,240 they may way exceed our ability to 363 00:15:03,110 --> 00:15:01,760 assimilate and and digest facts 364 00:15:05,269 --> 00:15:03,120 but 365 00:15:06,949 --> 00:15:05,279 there is uh really uh 366 00:15:09,189 --> 00:15:06,959 not even a seed 367 00:15:11,189 --> 00:15:09,199 of creative intelligence in that 368 00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:11,199 different thinking machines will will 369 00:15:15,030 --> 00:15:12,720 actually have different personalities in 370 00:15:17,910 --> 00:15:15,040 a sense the idea that they're a servant 371 00:15:20,710 --> 00:15:17,920 that execute just what you've defined 372 00:15:22,710 --> 00:15:20,720 that era is is going to end and we're 373 00:15:24,389 --> 00:15:22,720 going to be in a whole different arena 374 00:15:51,910 --> 00:15:24,399 where they're going to be operating with 375 00:15:54,790 --> 00:15:53,509 i think some of the biggest problems in 376 00:15:55,829 --> 00:15:54,800 computing are going to be social and 377 00:15:58,310 --> 00:15:55,839 political 378 00:16:00,550 --> 00:15:58,320 uh rather than technical the more stuff 379 00:16:03,749 --> 00:16:00,560 about yourself that you put online 380 00:16:06,870 --> 00:16:05,430 the less control you have over it the 381 00:16:07,670 --> 00:16:06,880 more people are going to have access to 382 00:16:10,389 --> 00:16:07,680 it that 383 00:16:12,949 --> 00:16:10,399 maybe you don't want to have access to 384 00:16:15,030 --> 00:16:12,959 as fast as a society as we have today i 385 00:16:17,749 --> 00:16:15,040 think it's only going to get faster i 386 00:16:19,990 --> 00:16:17,759 think the biggest uh problem that 387 00:16:21,910 --> 00:16:20,000 computers can cause is the 388 00:16:24,230 --> 00:16:21,920 lack of personal contact in the human 389 00:16:26,550 --> 00:16:24,240 touch sometimes the fascination with the 390 00:16:28,230 --> 00:16:26,560 power of the tool steers you away from 391 00:16:30,870 --> 00:16:28,240 actually applying it to solve human 392 00:16:34,230 --> 00:16:30,880 problems i also have a fear of losing 393 00:16:35,110 --> 00:16:34,240 craftsmanship and skills i think that as 394 00:16:37,509 --> 00:16:35,120 we 395 00:16:39,509 --> 00:16:37,519 have a computer capability that is going 396 00:16:41,030 --> 00:16:39,519 to be able to handle more and more of 397 00:16:43,590 --> 00:16:41,040 our routine 398 00:16:45,509 --> 00:16:43,600 tasks that one of the incredible 399 00:16:47,030 --> 00:16:45,519 challenges we face 400 00:16:50,150 --> 00:16:47,040 is to 401 00:16:52,949 --> 00:16:50,160 educate kids how to solve problems how 402 00:16:54,710 --> 00:16:52,959 to be creative how to be innovative as 403 00:16:56,310 --> 00:16:54,720 opposed to regurgitating facts and 404 00:16:58,550 --> 00:16:56,320 figures because that's what computers 405 00:17:01,269 --> 00:16:58,560 are going to be able to do best for us 406 00:17:03,269 --> 00:17:01,279 we'll probably have social programs to 407 00:17:05,350 --> 00:17:03,279 make sure that we get 408 00:17:06,789 --> 00:17:05,360 cellular computers to 409 00:17:08,230 --> 00:17:06,799 everyone 410 00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:08,240 so they can have a say in the way the 411 00:17:11,669 --> 00:17:10,240 world operates you know we talked today 412 00:17:13,829 --> 00:17:11,679 about the 413 00:17:15,510 --> 00:17:13,839 potential rift between the 414 00:17:17,429 --> 00:17:15,520 calves and haves not 415 00:17:20,870 --> 00:17:17,439 growing wider 416 00:17:23,829 --> 00:17:20,880 i kind of turned that into the future 417 00:17:25,590 --> 00:17:23,839 concern for the nose and the nose knots 418 00:17:27,510 --> 00:17:25,600 it's one of those equalizer tools i 419 00:17:29,029 --> 00:17:27,520 think that can be useful to a lot of 420 00:17:30,789 --> 00:17:29,039 people to help them 421 00:17:32,870 --> 00:17:30,799 overcome some of the disadvantages they 422 00:17:34,950 --> 00:17:32,880 might have as an individual or a small 423 00:17:36,710 --> 00:17:34,960 group i'm interested mostly in adaptive 424 00:17:39,110 --> 00:17:36,720 technology since it applies to me both 425 00:17:40,310 --> 00:17:39,120 in my professional and personal life my 426 00:17:42,630 --> 00:17:40,320 hopes maybe 427 00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:42,640 like i said in my professional life is 428 00:17:46,390 --> 00:17:44,240 to have things that i can use in the 429 00:17:48,310 --> 00:17:46,400 office so that i can identify 430 00:17:50,390 --> 00:17:48,320 much more than i do now as far as 431 00:17:53,110 --> 00:17:50,400 documents and things like that 432 00:17:54,789 --> 00:17:53,120 and some added additions hopefully being 433 00:17:56,549 --> 00:17:54,799 able to 434 00:17:58,710 --> 00:17:56,559 be compatible with graphical user 435 00:18:01,190 --> 00:17:58,720 interface using speech or maybe even 436 00:18:02,710 --> 00:18:01,200 using voice recognition systems 437 00:18:05,029 --> 00:18:02,720 and for my personal life maybe a 438 00:18:07,510 --> 00:18:05,039 computerized car have a lot more 439 00:18:09,029 --> 00:18:07,520 dynamism a lot more mobility a lot more 440 00:18:10,870 --> 00:18:09,039 adaptability 441 00:18:12,950 --> 00:18:10,880 a lot more independence a lot more 442 00:18:15,990 --> 00:18:12,960 requirement for responsibility for 443 00:18:17,350 --> 00:18:16,000 education for initiative while we have 444 00:18:19,909 --> 00:18:17,360 all of these things they have not 445 00:18:21,270 --> 00:18:19,919 brought brought the world happiness it's 446 00:18:22,789 --> 00:18:21,280 brought it closer together made a 447 00:18:24,870 --> 00:18:22,799 smaller world 448 00:18:27,270 --> 00:18:24,880 we seem not to understand one another 449 00:18:29,110 --> 00:18:27,280 that seems to be quite uh prevalent 450 00:18:30,390 --> 00:18:29,120 computing can only be a tool that's 451 00:18:33,350 --> 00:18:30,400 going to help 452 00:18:35,510 --> 00:18:33,360 bringing information to us i think that 453 00:18:37,190 --> 00:18:35,520 uh 454 00:18:38,870 --> 00:18:37,200 the thing that 455 00:18:39,990 --> 00:18:38,880 humans are 456 00:18:42,950 --> 00:18:40,000 probably 457 00:18:45,750 --> 00:18:42,960 for the next 20 or 30 years i'm going to 458 00:18:48,470 --> 00:18:45,760 always be uh more capable in computers 459 00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:48,480 is of imagination 460 00:18:52,870 --> 00:18:50,640 of conceptualizing and visualizing 461 00:18:54,870 --> 00:18:52,880 things and and 462 00:18:56,789 --> 00:18:54,880 asking the question of 463 00:18:57,909 --> 00:18:56,799 how could this be different or why is 464 00:18:59,430 --> 00:18:57,919 this 465 00:19:01,750 --> 00:18:59,440 and then posing that question the 466 00:19:03,990 --> 00:19:01,760 computer and maybe finding an answer 467 00:19:05,909 --> 00:19:04,000 more and more i think what i see 468 00:19:08,470 --> 00:19:05,919 is that what knowledgeable people are
