MycroftHomlzsays...The last few are sort of creepy.
hpqpjokingly says..."Data that is important and relevant to you: your penis is too small."
Stormsingersays...1...2...3...4...5. 5 out of 5 that are bullshit, misleading, or just plain bad ideas.
Generating power from your bike and/or water pipes. BS and misleading.
Biometrics, already demonstrated to be -way- too easy to fool, and there is no way to revoke them. Won't even begin to address the misleading claims that "as always, you can opt in or out of the system."
Mind-reading - right. They can't even manage natural language accurately, after spending 25 years on commercial products. I'm sure brain scans are easier, though.
The gaps between information haves and have-nots will cease to exist. Anyone that believes that, raise your hand. Anyone?
Analytics, deciding for you what you want to see. Because living 100% of the time in your own personal echo chamber is such a great way to stay in touch with reality. The knowledge level of Faux News viewers provides a reasonable estimate of how well that works.
In short, total bullshit. But what else would one expect from IBM, a company that sells nothing else.
shagen454jokingly says...yay, for having a retinal scan that proves I was the one watching Big Black Booty XXVII.
FishBulbsays...IBM's predictions for innovation from five years ago:
*We will be able to access healthcare remotely, from just about anywhere in the world.
*Real-time speech translation—once a vision only in science fiction—will become the norm.
*There will be a 3-D Internet.
*Technologies the size of a few atoms will address areas of environmental importance.
*Our mobile phones will start to read our minds.
MycroftHomlzsays...I think they got close on 4/5 there.
