- 據《鏡報》報導,尼葛洛龐帝表示,只要將藥片吞下後,藥效進入血液在大腦發揮作用,便能幫助人們快速學習語言,未來這將會是最好的學習方式。尼葛洛龐帝說:「你只要吞了這個藥,就會說英文;你只要吞了這個藥,就會讀莎士比亞文學了。」目前這項技術仍在實驗室開發當中,預計未來30年內可研發出來。
Nicholas Negroponte, founder of the MIT Media Lab, delivered his first TED talk in 1984 and, "with surprising accuracy," made five predictions for the future. Of course, 30 years ago, naysayers argued sensory computing wasn't the future; people would never use their fingers as some alternative stylus.
"Everybody thought it was ridiculous," said Negroponte in his most recent TED talk, filmed this March. "Papers were published about how stupid it was to use fingers."
Thirty years later, and critics' heads hang in shame. Apple sold its five millionth iPhone in March; Android now boasts one billion 30-day active users. Our sticky fingers smudge the screens of our smartphones and tablets without us even thinking twice about it.
"Let me say something about 1984, and that particular TED talk," said Negroponte in a previous BostInno interview. "They were 'extrapolations.' I just took what we were doing and projected it forward."
So, what does Negroponte's latest prediction mean for 30 years from now? On the TED stage, he said:
Yes, Negroponte said it. "You're going to swallow a pill and know English."
Between the remote-controlled contraceptive device that can be implanted under the skin andmouse inception, however — both spun out of MIT — is Negroponte's prediction as crazy as it sounds or just shockingly realistic?
Watch his TED talk and chime in in the comments section. Does the future Negroponte is proposing sound ludicrous? TED Curator Chris Anderson promised:
