Bold Predictions - 2010

Posted on 06:11 by hony
Last year, I called 2010 the year of the human machine interface. Turns out I was pretty accurate. From announcements that nanowires could read/write to nerve fibers to DARPA's Reliable Peripheral Interfaces program, it seems this year a lot of folks were interested in getting machines to communicate with humans more intimately.
Some day soon, I believe, the efforts of scientists in 2010 in this field will yield my long-awaited USB port in my arm. TAE's Law of Bionics: All You Need is Drivers.
