A Grand Unified Theory of Artificial Intelligence
In the 1950s and ’60s, artificial-intelligence researchers saw themselves as trying to uncover the rules of thought. But those rules turned out to be way more complicated than anyone had imagined. Since then, artificial-intelligence (AI) research has come to rely, instead, on probabilities — statistical patterns that computers can learn from large sets of training data.

In the future every home will have one: electronic devices that you can control just by pointing a finger. To turn this vision into reality the 3Plast research consortium is developing special sensors that can be printed onto plastic film and affixed to objects.
I envision a near future, say 5 to 10 years, in which all objects of any value whatsoever will have sensors attached or embedded and where all such objects will communicate with one another instantaneously.
