MIND-READING COMPUTERS ON THE WAY
A raised eyebrow, quizzical look or a nod of the head are just a few of the facial expressions computers could soon be using to read people's minds.

It will have to do better than the previous voice incarnations like Windows Bob. Bob was an obvious failure. It did not read facial features or anything, but it took voice commands. It looks like we are just going to skip that and go straight to "mind reading" computers. If it works it could be useful but very expensive I imagine. But for the life of me I can't think of a reason I would want to have the computer figure out what I want to say with out me telling it. Original incarnations would surely have a high error tally.
Mind reading computers... Doesn't that seam to be a path that could lead to an invasion of privacy, or something from some kind of science fiction movie.
