The Second Stage

The two ideas I have decided to put forward are the speech recognition software and the computer watch scheduler. I have therefore decided against the mind interpreter, for the following reasons:



• The idea is too futuristic, which means that many assumptions would have to be made about the technology.
  
  
• There is an ethical issue regarding the whole concept. Is it fair to read someone's thoughts?
  
  
• It would be difficult to prove that the interpreter is correct.
  
  
• There are similar products on the market already like baby monitors.
  
  
  The speech recognition software has the potential of being a useful teaching tool. This idea would have to assume that a child's speech could be interpreted effectively.
  
  The computer watch scheduler does not have any prerequisites.
