Hi BI,

I read a book a month ago called When Things Start to Think by Neil Gershenfeld. I was surprised that you can read the whole book online with links on keywords here. And here is a blurb about the book if you haven't read.

WHAT. . . are things that think?
books that can change into other books
•
musical instruments that help beginners
engage and virtuosi do more
•
shoes that communicate through
body networks
•
printers that output working things
instead of static objects
•
money that contains behavior
as well as value

In fact, other articles on KurzweilAI.net are pretty interesting as well. There are articles about philosophy of technology evolution and collection of AI biotech articles. Kurzweil himself is the one who made a lot of contributions to speech recognition technology. Check it out.
