Natural Language Search, Robotic Exoskeleton

Will PowerSet, a new search engine based on natural-language expressions set to debut later this year, rival Google in the near future? (Read Powerset article here) Will commericially available robotic exoskeletons be available soon? The researchers say they aren't planning on commercial production, but have successfully created a robo-skeleton that test patients learned to used in 30 minutes. (Read Robotic exoskeleton here)
I would sure be interested in my own robo-exoskeleton, and a search engine I could talk to. "Hey, Powerset AI, when did the world begin," and my answer would pop up right on the screen. "Hey, that house needs to be moved." "Don't worry, I can just pick it up and move it with my handy robo-exo-skeleton."
Sounds like fun.

Propelling Us Into The Future

The human mind predicts the future. What is truly fantastic is that no one can ever, logically speaking, be correct in telling someone that something will never be.............. here the thoughts and ideas in the 19th Century are now becoming a reality. The only thing that really ticks me off is that CNN deams this "Offbeat" news when, if you follow the link below this article, we see what is not offbeat.
