Singularity University invites you to their event
About this event
Every day, a few billion people spend time staring at displays, swiping screens, and tapping away at keyboards. Our devices have become portals connecting us to a vast and growing digital world in which we work, play, learn, and socialize.
But even as the digital world encompasses ever larger swathes of daily life, the interfaces we use to access it haven’t evolved as quickly. Devices are slimmer, smaller, lighter, and more powerful, but the digital world still lives in much the same box it has for years. The result? Endless distraction and inefficiency that limits our new digital powers.
In the first of three talks, join Jody Medich as she takes a look at the history and current state of human machine interfaces (HMI) and how they have failed to keep up with the growing demands of technology. Instead, HMI has become so burdensome it's killing us and our ability to think. She'll explain why that happens and point to new opportunities finally made possible thanks to cognitive computing.
