President APJ Abdul Kalam is in favour of India and IBM jointly developing and marketing nano computers.IBM is traditionally driven by its founder Thomas J Watson's vision of "thinking" as a launch pad...I was thinking what can be launched from IBM's launch pad, particularly from India," Kalam said at a gathering of IBM employees here, hosted by chairman & CEO Samuel J Palmisano."Can IBM and Indian enterprises and academic institutions with their combined core competence launch a system or a product that will be new to the world as Watson's "think" slogan made a great change to the world of computers?", Kalam said."Can India and IBM think together for designing, developing, producing and marketing nano computers with a capability of 10 terabytes per square inch in an 8 nanometre-size chip? Is it possible? I am sure you may have many experiences," the president said.Most computers and accessories of the future will be micro-sized, wearable and have wireless communication with each other, Kalam said. It is predicted that by 2019, the computational ability of an ordinary PC would exceed the capability of the average human brain and by 2029 it would be around 1,000 times that of the human brain."My view is the creativity of the human mind will always be superior to the most powerful computers in the horizon...creativity has to be the business of IBM and other knowledge organisations," Kalam said.
