198672 2003-12-09 03:38:00 To-day we marvel at how great computers are

in the 80's they marveled at drawing circles and lines on the computer

so look how much computers have advanced over 20 years

imagin what will happen to computer in the next 10-20-30-40-50-60 years

By that time we will probabley be able to print a full scale replica of our selves with moveable body parts and everything!

in fact by then they will have smarter robots than some computers

they will have voice translaters you can dowload for free over the interenet

free full games

think of it

that would be just a taste of what is coming to computer worlds!!

and they will look back to the year 2003 and say

WHAT CRAPPY COMPUTERS THEY HAD!

198673 2003-12-09 03:39:00 about the robots smarter than computers i was not thinking so its actully robots smarter than some humans DRA MANAGMENT (4973)
198674 2003-12-09 05:52:00 While robots will someday be smarter than humans, it is a long way off. The calculations made by the human mind each second cannot be emulated by a computer - yet.

Alan Turing proposed the standard test for assessing such intelligence: place the machine behind a screen and let a person communicate with it. If that person cannot tell the other is a computer, then Artificial Intelligence has arrived.

Fortunately I am human and can readily tell that DRA is a computer with his spell-check turned off. ;)

198675 2003-12-09 06:11:00 Can I have some of what you are on? Must be good Sh*t! If we are so tecnlogocally advanced how come there isn't a colony on the moon now? mark.p (383)
198676 2003-12-09 07:06:00 The way MS see it, by 2004 we'll ALL be using Multi-Ghz PC's with 512MB RAM as a bare minimum...

I reakon that 10 years from now, PC's like my current AMD Athlon XP 1700+ will still be around.. wont be able to play the latest games for sure, but they're at a stage where they're comfortable to use with a well-setup and streamlined OS on them, and you dont really need a 3.2Ghz Hyperthreading P4 to check your emails do you now?!

198677 2003-12-09 09:43:00 God! I`m so bored with these bloody computers trying to take over the world. Just the other day a couple of them came up to me and said; ''OOO look, it`s one of those cute organics..'' brewer (4389)

Chilling, 10 years ago we were saying exactly the same thing about our 386 and 486 beasts, and where are they now :)

Largely, being used as firewalls, proxies, etc. :D

Don't be so sure of that ;)

You never know, if Trusted Computing comes along, you might need a 3.2GHz CPU just so the US Government can take a screenshot of what you are doing every second, and so they can use your own processing power to help crack weak passwords and encryption :p

And I know that technically one could argue Linux, but just remember there is that weird group of people who want Trusted Computing for Linux, too... :D
