The Computers of the future will have feelings and personality

Technology guru and good-natured in his spare time, Steve Wozniak spoke to a local TV station and made his predictions: "In forty years we have conscious computers, with feelings, who has a personality."


Hopefully Woz is right. He bet their chips on improving the artificial intelligence point of producing best friends. "The computer will look on your face and understand your speech."

The co-founder of Apple in partnership with Steve Jobs says that some of us will be replaced by machines and that "we will have to restructure society." He gives as an example the iPhone, which at some point will be so good that he does not want to know more of human beings - just wait Woz's wife to find out he'd trade for Siri ...

And how is a matter of turning over a "Matrix" under command of very powerful machines? That is the question that this intrepid reporter would do if Wozniak had a chance to interview him. I think the field of Artificial Intelligence  still walks the walk too slow. I hope Woz is right when he makes his predictions for forty years from now.

Reporters present asked about the death of Steve Jobs. Former Apple employee said he learned by journalists themselves who began to call him when the information is confirmed. "I remember crying on the phone for interviews."
