I thank Drs.Thierry Pelaccia, Germain Forestier and Cédric Wemmert for their reasoned and optimistic predictions for directed beneficial application of technology to supplement human intelligence. They echoed "Lady Ada's Objection" (1) "... that such computing methods could not originate or create, but could only do things the programmer knew how to make them do". She developed the first machine aligorithm and predicted the scope of digital revolution almost 200 years ago. There has been waves of disturbing public predictions of dire smart machine consequences since then. They have proven mostly wrong except those regarding major economic disadvantage to late adopters.
