One of the things I really want is a digital personal assistant. I know we are years away from having a full blown assistant, but maybe someone could make one that does one single task. Of course, speech and speech recognition would be essential. Here are some things I would like mine to do. Any one would be good.
** Keep track of my to-do list no matter where I am. So, if I'm driving in the car and I think of something that needs doing, I should be able to tell my assistant and it will add it to the list. Also, my list should be accessbile wherever I am. It should be automatically copied to all of my computers--network at home, PC at work, all handhelds, phone, website, etc.
** Play songs from my music library. I should be able to ask for a specific song, artist, genre or playlist. The assistant should ask me questions if it is confused.
** Track down simple encyclopedia-like facts.
Can't someone write a bot that does these things?
