I have noticed that the barrier separating genuine human interaction with those concerning machines has been gradually eroding over the years. At one time, the concept of a thinking, talking machine that a human could truly interact with was a very distant and exotic thing.

The Austin Public Library has some choice resources available that may inspire individuals interested in furthering this convergence.Media:
