Seeing that display and imagining a life-like Zul AI assistant that we
all will be teaching new things to made ask for the first time, is this
really a good idea?

Well we can always count on the pentagon.

Are we collectively more intelligent that any of us individually?

Can you say that in Einstein's day he was the smartest and if so, could
he beat Zul up if he had to?

Cause we can have an Einstein too then.

Holowars. We would all be watching them.

I think the small screen beside the typical 2D or 3D monitor is a good
sensible way to start. Based on the AI Librarian concept.

That's useful, and manageable for normal people and shouldn't be 45,000
dollars like the one in the last post. Mind you that page is from 2005.

Integration with your pc, the TV, the cell phone, the various
multi-media players you have already. They all serve a useful purpose.

I have known people with a TV that could answer the phone with the
remote. Why on earth anyone wanted that I have no idea.

Less is not more. If you only have one screen, will you only have one
company?

Maybe 320x320x320 is not really the size we need since it is tempting to
go with a door shaped screen.
But then an animated scene with background that you might use or not,
makes it even better I think.
It depends on how much room you have I suppose.

Typically the screens are not cubic they are widescreen.

The screen size could be any size but the image might be square or
cropped or stretched but stretched it would look stupid.

The computer manages resolution and it will then as well I suspect.

So you should be able to have any shape you want at some point.

Maybe a round screen. Somehow I think the door shape seems more
ergonomic today. It fits in with the AI concept. Otherwise you might as
well just replace your screen.
