About Moore's law, Intel still invest strongly in 45 nanometers technology in competition with AMD, IBM, ... For the future, why not quantum computers ? May be not ready ! ..and atom thin graphite to build transistors... And this fantastic technology, RFID, with all its opportunities and risks, now at 50 micrometer size ! Man/machines interface: Suppressing the mouse , eye movement driven computer? It's an old dream. I already tried that in an IBM research lab years ago. A ...

I like this one: MIT's Michael Schrage explains why getting highly relevant results from a search can actually inhibit the iterative process by which we discover and learn. Idea we have about relevance of our search evolves while searching. Creativity can come from that iterative process too: I search something, I am partially dissatisfied of the result, that makes me refocus on new idea about my search, I search again, .... So: If you find what you search immediatly, you stop your brain ! ...

What's next after still well living silicium ( yes , 45 nanometers... ) to go-on on Moore's law? Photonic computer is one of the opportunities. Telephone still moving: Ultramobile is the keyword. McKinsey (just register!) shows an interesting study about value of mobile phones... Man/machine interface nice evolutions: - Flexible plastics, flexible screens, even flexible RFIDs . Why not become invisible, with flexible screen as clothing and a camera behind you, ...

Très bonne synthèse des nouveautés technologiques de ce salon....

No doubt information and communication technologies, as a major media, can create emotions, through messages, chatting, music and video, ... But can computer software detect and understand your emotions, and answer to them. Are we, after all those years, close enough from "artificial intelligence" ? A lot of new experiments these days on that, from neural networks to telephones.... All the chatterbots are trying too the same kind of things from basic Cybelle to sophisticated ...
