Ntrolling your computer with gestures. Will driverless cars mean computer crashes? Will self-driving cars become a reality?
Google co-founder Sergey Brin believes that "self-driving cars will be far safer than human-driven cars" but who trusts them enough to drive in them or even alongside them? Drivers will not need a driving licence by 2040. At least that is what the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers believes. It thinks autonomous cars capable of driving to any destination are set to become the norm. With an estimated 90% of current car accidents thought to be caused by human error, taking people out of the equation is seen by many car companies as a massive boost to safety. But most qualified drivers do not seem to think they would be the ones in trouble. "Most drivers think they are better than average drivers," says psychologist Dr Graham Hole, of the University of Sussex, who has published work on the psychology of driving. "People typically have a very inflated view of their own abilities as far as driving is concerned.

There used to be a name for what I was doing, "lurking" -- it dates back to a very different time in the net's history, when usenet and mailing lists were the main forms of communication. It was hard to talk about lurkers then, for the obvious reason that no one knew much about them; it hasn't gotten much easier since. The idea of lurkers has all but vanished now, buried by a succession of ways to try and slice and dice them: "eyeballs," pageviews, users, subscribers, friends, followers, etc, etc.
I think these changes are relevant in this context because Doug's initial questions put a lot of emphasis on expression: participation and activism on the one hand, and a concern that "social networks" (as if there were any other kind) might be diminishing the quality of people's engagement, on the other. That's good and bad. But it definitely has downsides, too. So the problem is simple (ha!). IBM New Intelligence toward a Smarter Planet. Snel is niet slim.

Honderd jaar geleden was het antwoord eenvoudig: het geluid van mensen die gesprekken voeren, in elkaars aanwezigheid of via een bekabeld netwerk. Tegenwoordig praat niet alleen iedereen met elkaar, tegenwoordig praat álles met elkaar. Elk ding kan met elk ander ding praten, in een voortdurende beweging. Volgens schattingen zijn er in 2011 meer dan twee miljard mensen actief op internet — en die doen heel wat meer dan alleen praten. Video-on-demand, IP-televisie en internet-TV zullen in 2012 verantwoordelijk zijn voor bijna 90% van het IP-verkeer van consumenten.
Bedenk dat er in Londen bijna 10.000 videocamera's op internet zijn aangesloten, die 24 uur per dag beelden doorgeven. Vindt u het dan vreemd dat er binnen drie jaar meer dan een half zettabyte aan IP-verkeer is? Een slimmere wereld verlangt een slimmere communicatie-infrastructuur. Snel breedband is wel belangrijk, maar maakt een netwerk nog niet slim.
