Computers And Humans Technological Advances

Shifting toward computing and software, the company are seeing its products in auspicious fields such as healthcare. The company developed a non-natural smart computer system capable of responding problems posed in an ordinary language called

Next, our products shall have advanced nervous system like us! That understands and converse with us. A wheelchair or vehicle notifying potholes on the streets to the respective government department, a building notifying the architect whether people inside it are liking or disliking being there, a garment healing the tissues and pains of body, a headgear lessening anxiety.

Rodney A. Brooks, the Director of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory knows a little about how much difference a few decades can make. In his book, “Flesh And Machines”, he discusses how technological advancements have had this effect on his own personal life. He describes receiving his “scientific news” as a teenager by 3-month steamship voyage. Then in the 1980’s he “telecommuted” between Massachusetts and California on a daily basis, first using 20 MB tape cartridges and then on low-speed leased data lines. By the 1990’s he was using free internet to conduct his daily business. All of these communication innovations had extraordinary effects both in the private and public sectors, and nanotechnology and bionics promise the same extreme effects but more than likely with even faster rates of change (Brooks: 6).

Global awareness describes the relevant knowledge of diverse cultures and includes the understanding of how these cultures impact the world through various aspects such as “environmental, social, cultural, political, and economic relations” (Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute, 2014, para. 1). Knowledge of global affairs is extremely important in order to better understand how to interact with and to communicate with peoples from differing backgrounds throughout the ever-changing anthropological landscape. This knowledge also helps to familiarize individuals regarding dilemmas that have global implications. The democratization of technology has helped to make its users more globally aware in order to help address the

traditionally Information is confined on paper or digitally on a screen. Sixth Sense bridges this gap,

We have evolved over millions of years to sense the world around us. When we encounter something, someone or some place, we use our five natural senses which include eye, ear, nose, tongue mind and body to perceive information about it; that information helps us make decisions and chose the right actions to take. But arguably the most useful information that can help us make the right decision is not naturally perceivable with our five senses, namely the data, information and knowledge that mankind has accumulated about everything and which is increasingly all available online. Although the miniaturization of computing devices allows us to carry computers in our pockets, keeping us continually connected to the

The human body and its senses tend to fail quite frequently, and, therefore, many weaknesses are evident. Our senses are easily tricked, manipulated, influenced by the environment and context, as well as very limited.

This was not only a breakthrough for AI and HCI, but it also proved that the concept of machines helping humans was a success. Interestingly enough, during years of Watson’s development there were moments where Watson hit a wall and required engineers to step in to help reach the level. In the same regard Watson has helped humans solve hurdles in HCI development. Watson was a benchmark that left no questions whether or not humans plus machines is the optimal way to proceed into the future. This solidified IBM’s goal to support HCI technology with “Cognitive systems that must learn at scale, reason with purpose, and interact with humans naturally”, Dr. Kelly.

The contemporary society is becoming increasingly computerized. The fundamental cause is computer technology is conceived globally to have brought conveniences to individuals’ lifestyle, including at work places and social life. Computer technology is the creation and development of computers to aid individuals in daily life and at work. Examples of computer technology include Internet and social media applications. So has computer technology changed individual’s lifestyles for the better? It is necessary to consider some arguments on this issue. Supportive arguments include computer technology enables users to easily access useful digital information, offers potential future applications and promote social networking and communication. The argument against include it could lead to the spread of inaccurate information, and might result in possible addiction and other negative effects on mental health and possible pollution and invasion of privacy in the future.

The Sixth Sense is a Human Machine Interface (HMI) technology developed to bridge between users and the wealth of information from sources such as the internet and other digital archives. The core technology is comprised from application software as a controller, projector as an output device, and camera as input device. Furthermore, the user operates the machine using hand gestures as codes retrieving object-related information.

When replacing human senses, computers are still missing abilities to make perception and data entry accurately. For example, “Perception means to recognize and interpret. To a computer, a beautiful scene is nothing more than mathematics and bits of picture code. A secret tunnel to a computer is nothing more than mathematics and bits of picture code. A mystery presented by a puzzle, to a computer is an abstract concept that it doesn 't understand. Skills are things that computers can measure, but have no idea why someone would want a skill. Neither perception nor interpretation are abilities of a computer.” Cole, D. S. (2003). Perception and data entry go hand in hand with each other. A human can formulate results from a piece of data. If an error occurs and if it was a human error; we then know how to fix it depending on how the error was made. If a computer detects an error when forming results from a piece of data, it can either not be able to form results due to an error or leave the error out of the end results of all the

When we talk about technology, most people’s first thoughts would be about phones, laptops, the internet etc. This is because every single argument I found against technology is talking about how we waste so much time on devices and how it is ruining human interactions and real life communication. What they don’t know is that while it does do all of these things, there are some good things that technology has brought upon us. Some examples are that technology assists in transferring water to our houses and it is used in the refrigeration of food. These are things that people may take for granted. Our earthquake resistant and fireproof structures we see today are also a gift of developments in technology.

For example, the blending of inventive innovations with scientific discoveries relating to the brain opens better approaches for taking care of data, treating sicknesses, and perhaps making robots with human qualities. Over the past century, we have aided our vision and hearing with lenses and amplifiers. “During the next century, we will probably replace eyes and ears with light and sound detectors and computer chips that send

Computers are widely used for many purposes in almost all areas like offices, hospitals, colleges, super markets, households, etc. The dependency on computers for carrying out different tasks like online shopping, paying bills, booking tickets, etc. is continuously increasing. . Scientists are trying to develop a technology which integrates the physical and the digital world. The 5 human senses- eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin- perform their own functions. There could also be another sense which would enable us to sense things that are not basic and biological. This technology can be assumed as sixth sense technology. Sixth sense technology uses the concepts of gesture recognition, augmented reality, computer

• Note: - the 4th generation technology known as HCI and artificial intelligence are still in development. But some applications some of these techniques.
