This can be done by “harvesting” facial expressions, body language, heart rates, voice and so on. If you are typing text into a puter, the puter might consider the speed you are typing, decide you are stressed and conclude that this isnt the best time to allow you to read depressing emails. If you are driving a car, the car might consider how you are driving and e to certain conclusions. If the car decides you are angry and in danger of driving unsafely it might adapt(使适应) itself to make things safer.By 2045 we should see insect-sized robotic insects.
