Science is amazing and also kind of scary. I love how they joke about their plans for world domination but how long will it be until we have computers that talk to us like the AI or VI in Mass Effect or even the ship's computer on Star Trek? They may not be able to think but this could be a first step in a new user interface for computers that has, until now only been discussed in science fiction. How long before the next iPhone is talking to you?
