Interesting article about a symposium of major corporations about computing in 2016. I can't help but think they aren't going to disclose anything revolutionary, or else they might loose their competitive lead. But some interesting perspectives nonetheless. Here's a few interesting quotes from it:“Biology, Dr. Karp said, is now understood as an information science. And scientists seek to describe biological processes, like protein production, as algorithms. “In other words, nature is computing,” he said.
“computer science is the systematic study of algorithms”
“computer science is the systematic study of algorithms”
“Future trends in computer imaging and storage will make it possible for a person, wearing a tiny digital device with a microphone and camera, to essentially record his or her life.”
“But clearly, the technology could also enable a surveillance society. “We’ll have the capability, and it will be up to society to determine how we use it,” Dr. Rashid said. “Society will determine that, not scientists.”
