Intel CTO Says Future Phones Will Sense Your Mood

Posted by samzenpus on from the love-your-phone-and-it-will-loive-you-back dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Ultra-smartphones that react to your moods and televisions that can tell it's you who's watching are in your future as Intel Corp's top technology guru sets his sights on context-aware computing. Chief technology officer Justin Rattner stuffed sensors down his socks at the annual Intel Develop Forum in San Francisco on Wednesday to demonstrate how personal devices will one day offer advice that goes way beyond local restaurants and new songs to download. 'How can we change the relationship so we think of these devices not as devices but as assistants or even companions?' he asked."

    I can suggest other places for him to stuff his sensors. ...But then, I might also suggest that he get off my lawn.
