Heads-up Computing, Drive-Compute (DC), Compute and Keep Driving (CKD) § You can use the stream (or "proph memory") without visual feedback, via interactive audio. § Get in your car, drive; speak:five top thing on my stream-meaning five latest arrivals; or everything in the last halfhour. Audio response: "email from Bob Schwartz"; pause. "News from WSJ, headline Greek riots"; pause. "Email from Tom Schapiro;" in the pause you say Subject? Response: "Security problem on main server"; you say Read it. Response: system starts reading. Partway through, you say: "OK; send a reply; let's meetfirst thing in my office, around 9." § Now you say Tell me what's coming up. [I.e., look at the stream's future.] Response: "At 9:20, meet with Miss Bloom." Pause. "At 9:30, meet with Stroock lawyers." Pause. "At 10:00, call with BP." Pause; you say, Back one. Response: "At 9:30, meet with Stroock lawyers." You say, Mail to Laure: Phone Strook; say that I need to postpone this morning's meeing. OK § (When you tell the system to "say something" on the phone, it can put a recording of your voice into the phone message. For plain email, the system turns your voice into words—though it can always insert your voice if it has problems transcribing.) § If you have the stream make a phone call for you, instead of phoning yourself from the car, you save time (computer dials &waits for someone to pick up), and you have a record of the call on-stream. § Or you can insert calls directly into the stream, and keep a recording on-stream: say Phone Melissa .The system dials; the call is recorded; when you look back over the stream, the complete phone call is on-stream between (say) email from Schwartz and a memo from Feinstein. § Now you say Previous. Response: "At 9:20, meeting with Miss Bloom." You say, Mail Miss Bloom: I need to postpone; check with me later. The system transcribes your words and sends the email.

The system looks for match between spoken name & recent words it's said; otherwise, asks you "Spell it"; then, searches against the stream. § If there are pictures in news, messages, memos and so on, the system can commandeer a dashboard screen and display pictures. (Optional; maybe we don't want this.) § If you're listening to music and new info shows up on stream, the system can break in. § Tune to the "Stream Channel" to find this system. EFTA00585480
