IBM forecasted that in five years, computers will gain the five senses and be able to experience the world as humans do.
In the future computers will be able to :
Touch:
In the future you will be able order a t-shirt and touch the screen and you will feel the cotton of the shirt.

Computers will be able to interpret images better than we can, analyzing colors and texture patterns. They will even over power doctors abilities to read medical imagery, including X-Rays and ultrasounds.

Hear:
Imagine holding a iphone up to your baby when he’s making a sound, and the app showing a message: “I’m hungry.”
In five years, computers will be able to detect elements of sounds that humans can hear but aren’t able to understand. As every parent knows, the difference between normal babbling and a message that something is wrong can be extremely bad. Computers of the future will not only be able to detect whether a baby is upset, they’ll be able to determine if the child is hungry, tired, hot or in pain.
By interpreting different sound pressures, vibrations and waves, computers will be able to predict when trees are about to fall, when landslides are about to happen, or when cars are about to collide before humans can.

Taste:
Within the next five years, a computer will help you make the perfect recipe — not too sweet, not too salty, not too crunchy, but just the way you like it.
By breaking down foods computers will be able to use complex algorithms to determine what flavor combinations are the most delicious. They could then develop recipes that provide the ideal flavor and texture of food.

Smell:
Do you think you’re coming down with a cold? In five years, you’ll be able to breathe into your iphone to find out.
IBM researchers are developing technology to analyze odors in people’s breath that identify liver and kidney disorders, asthma, diabetes and epilepsy. By determining which odors and molecules in a person’s breath are associated with each disease, computers of the future will be able to make an instant analysis for problems that today could be misdiagnosed or go undetected by a doctor.
