“We’re talking about reinventing the way computers operate and you interact with them as humans，” says IBM Vice President Bernie Meyerson.

　　Extending our sense of touch is one of five innovations (创新) that IBM believes will change the world in the next five years，according to the company’s annual “Five in Five” list.

　　Smart machines will also soon be able to listen to the environment and highlight the sounds we care about most.For instance，an advanced speech recognition system will tell new parents why their baby is crying.

　　“From the sound the baby is creating，that particular frequency in the voice of the child，you know the difference between a child for instance who is sick as opposed to a child who is just lonely.”

　　In the near future，personal computers will be able to do more than recognize images and visual data.Their built­in cameras will be able to analyze features such as colors，and understand the meaning of visual media，such as knowing how to sort family photos.

　　Smart machines will also be able to smell.If you sneeze on your computer，tiny sensors built in the machine will be able to analyze thousands of molecules (分子) in your breath.Then it can tell you whether you need to see a doctor.

　　IBM scientists are also developing a system which can experience flavors to be used by chefs to create recipes.It breaks down ingredients to their molecular level and blends them to create the most popular flavors and smells.
