21、y, human thought processes and even values are being programmed into computers, according to Earl Joseph, president of a consulting firm. “Imagine machines which are smarter and more intelligent than humans and, with their embedded(植入的 ) initiative, cant wait to tell you about it,“ he says. In every

22、day life, the future will mean talking directly to computers without pushing buttons. Just tell a toaster, stove or other kitchen device what to do, and it will hear the message.
