Another AI Challenge
As my wife left the room, she asks my daughter who was also with us in the room to pick her bag and follow her.
Aaliyah shouts back. "Did you want me to bring the (hair) band, is that what you said"?
I was surprised but Aaliyah didn't stop at that "I heard you asking for the bag". But as she knew what the context was that her mother was worried about, she was able to reprocess the information that her brain received through the sound wave in her ears and make conclusion that a (hair) band and not a bag was being asked for.
We can never be sure of what word my wife had actually uttered. She must have wanted the band but might have actually made use of the word 'bag' inadvertently which we both heard. Aaliyah, my daughter was able to reprocess the information she heard with the knowledge of the context that I was oblivious too.
To achieve a processing of this sort through AI would take huge processing power. With some promising technology around, we may remain hopeful.

Keyboard - No app in Android Market!
The keys on my laptop stopped responding after some ants invaded the underside of it. I considered two options as a solution. One, get the keypad replaced - however if felt required model may take too long to come. Second option was to buy a wireless k/b - I thought I could use it on my TV attached to a wifi blue ray player that makes it somewhat smart - however, I was not sure if the k/b would work with the BR. The third idea was to turn to the Android Market to check if there is an application that can make my Nexux 7 work as a k/b for my lap.
Finding none, I have now decided to wait a bit to see if the k/b springs back to life after a few days of hard press typing.

Extended Sensitivities
Despite being 25 feet away from us the tip of a pole touching a jack-fruit can tell us if it is ripe or not.
The smell of food also gives us a clue of it's taste of weather it is sweet or sour
Do robots have that kind of a sensitivity?

Renovating a tiled floor
Titled floors often loose their color after many years of use. The floors still remain a leveled surface. Had there been a technology to redo the coloring even with a different shade or pattern, renovation costs could be brought down. Finishing the renovation and making a dwelling habitable again could leave minimal carbon foot print.
However, high temperatures may be needed to do the job which asks for new thoughts of renovating such tiles. New technologies if made available could even make the floors look not divided into squares.

Looks like scientists are not far away from achieving this. Follow the news link:

What Computers will always lack
Human ability to forget is one great gift from God. An entire book may be dedicated discussing this topic and yet leave many advantages of forgetting untouched. Computers having permanent memories will never have the ability to forget.
Would it be advantageous if the smart machines forget stuff and still be as reliable as they are today? The human race progresses much because of it's ability to forget. However, smart machines made by them will never be able to take advantage of such a God given character.
Another human ability is the ability to doubt. Doubt makes a person think like no other factor. ver a Would a doubting computer be smart like a human?
