Changing the World with Chips

By Tim McDonald
According to analysts, the most significant difference between the chips that (141) today’s computers and the computer chips of the future is, in a word, size.
In the future, there will be hundreds of billions of embedded chips and sensing devices integrated into everything (142) from key chains and swimming pools to your apartment’s walls and even your skin. All of these devices will be able to compute, sense and communicate with each other.
If that sounds creepy, consider one possible application: DARPA, the US government agency (143) the Internet, is funding research into "smart dust," millions of cheap, wireless sensors based on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology.

A. Brain chips mean we are struggling to distinguish our own thoughts from ideas implanted by advertisers. Self-driving cars restrict old-school human drivers to special recreation parks. And the optimal (最佳的) number of fingers is 12.5.
B. Confused It’s a vision of the world in 25 years, as dreamed up by today’s researchers in computer-human interaction (CHI).
C. CHI normally means investigating better ways for people to interact with devices we have now, but last week attendees at the annual conference in Toronto, Canada, got ahead of themselves. They created an imaginary conference agenda for 2039 that predicts the kinds of challenges we will face with future computers—many of which will be implanted.
D. "It’s meant to be sort of the fringes (边缘) of human—computer interaction research, what’s really edgy or provocative," says Eric Baumer of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, who dreamed
