Today scientists at IBM research labs around the globe are studying a wide range of interaction between humans and computers so that the computer has the ability to interface with the individual person instead of the person learning how to interface with the computer. The people at IBM Research believe that a good interface with a computer should be one that is not noticed.

Specific ways of doing this sort of interaction vary dramatically. Some of the ways IBM is looking at are shifting the burden of interaction to the comput

In today’s society computers are becoming more and more a part of our lives. A New York Times article states that the Internet is used by more than half of the United States adult population. Sixteen million new users logged online in the last six months according to a study. In addition, nearly three-quarters of children ages twelve to seventeen had Internet access, said the Pew Internet and American Life Project, which has been tracking Internet usage and habits since March of 2000.

Conversing with machines is moving toward pervasive computing in the eyes of IBM researchers, which will mean more sophisticated technology. The movement of technology forward is always a good thing if you look at our history. Man must find a way to deal with its population, pollution and waste. Technology is one way of helping the human race stay ahead of its problems.

After reading and rereading the article on transparent computing, I realize how important this research is to us as computer users. Think of it-if you could just walk up to a computer and it senses from your speech or just your touch or can read from looking at your eyes what you are thinking then you are a member of the computer society. This would make interacting with a computer more productive as well as more enjoyable. Today’s society has already started human computer interaction with interfaces among people with disabilities. But one of the drawb
