Every year, IBM Corporation chooses five new technologies it believes will change the world within the next five years. The IBM list is called " Five in Five. " The company says it(26)considers its own research and the new directions of society and business when identifying the technologies.
    This year, the list describes some future devices that will extend our five senses. Imagine(27)looking for clothes online and touching your computer or smartphone to feel the cloth. IBM Vice President Bernie Meyerson predicts that technology could be(28)available in the next five years.
    Touch is just one of the senses that computers will help to(29)extend. IBM says smart machines will soon be able to(30)listen to the environment and give us information about the sounds they hear. For example, Bernie Meyerson says an(31)advanced speech recognition system will tell new parents why their baby is crying and smart machines will also help identify medical conditions. If you(32)sneeze on your computer or cell phone, the machine will study(33)thousands of molecules in your breath. Then it can tell you whether you need to see a doctor.
    In the near future, built-in cameras in our personal computers will be able to examine and name colors and recognize images. Mr. Meyerson says IBM scientists are also developing a computer system that can examine and(34)combine food molecules to create the most popular flavors and smells. Mark Maloof is a computer science professor at Georgetown University. He says he hopes the progress that IBM is(35)predicting will lead more students to create future inventions. Professor Maloof says advances in computer technology will make what now seems like science fiction a part of our everyday lives.
