Predictor: Dertouzos, Michael
Prediction, in context:In a 1991 article for Technology Review, MIT researcher/administrator Michael Dertouzos writes: ”Interactive mixed media would have limitless instructional, educational and cultural uses. Programs might engage you in the process of taking apart a bicycle or designing a house, or explain via animation how an embryo grows in the womb – responding to your prompts and questions. You might take the helm of a simulated yacht and sail it through the Greek islands before going on a real vacation there. The world’s great architects, doctors, musical performers, car designers and poets could use this technology to deliver and explain their own unique forms of knowledge. 久久热 would gain the advantage of being tutored and would derive much more wisdom from the masters than they could by studying passive manuscripts, drawings and musical scores.”
Biography:Michael Dertouzos was director of the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and the author of “The Unfinished Revolution.” He led a project intended to make computers adapt to people.
