回答题Intelligent Machines
1. Medical scientists are already putting computer chips (芯片) directly into the brain to helppeople who have Parkinson's disease, but in what other ways might computer technology beable to help us? Ray Kurzweil is author of the successful book The Age of IntelligentMachines and is one of the world's best computer research scientists. He is researching thepossibilities.
2. Kurzweil gets computers to recognize voices. An example of this is Ramona, the virtual(虚拟的) hostess of Kurzweil's homepage, who is programmed to understand what yousay. Visitors to the site can have their conversations with her, and Ramona also dances andsings.
3. Kurzweil uses this technology to help people with physical disabilities. One of his ideas is a"seeing machine". This will be "like a friend that could describe what is going on in thevisible world," he explains. Blind people will use a visual sensor (探测器) which willprobably be built into a pair of sunglasses. This sensor will describe to the person everythingit sees.
4. Another idea, which is likely to help deaf people, is the "listening machine". Thisinvention will recognize millions of words and understand any speaker. The listeningmachine will be able to translate into other languages, so even people without hearingproblems are likely to be interested in using it.
5. But it is not just about helping people with disabilities. Looking further into the future,Kurzweil sees a time when we will be able to download our entire consciousness onto acomputer. This technology probably won't be ready for at least 50 years, but when itarrives, it means our mind will be able to live forever.
