Industrial Revolution and Gorilla Gaming
After the communications revolution(read internet) is more or less complete. the next thing is, I strongly believe, artificial intelligence. Of course this is an old term. It really takes lots of time to build smartness into a program. ASKJ is an example. I understand the product is still quite crude. The upward path is winding and very gradual.
Another example is speech recognition. It's not only a matter of capturing the sounds. We further have to guess from the context whether the word we hear is "guessed" or "guest". Of course no machine in the near future will know all the context that we know but the key to machine translation lies in the understanding of context. Building such "smart" programs as ASK Jeeves or speech recognition programs or machine translation programs or smart information retrieval programs will all require context knowledge and that takes thousands of man years to add properly. Smart programs get smart gradually. But some of them may get so far ahead of the pack that the pack quits.
Then they become indispensable. Something to look for. Another very slowly advancing field but enormous in its potential is robot vision, ie. analysis of the scene. "What part am I holding? etc"
That's the next stage in the industrial revolution after the internet, JMHO.
