If All the above features can be combined and made effective implementation on a real-time basis which should provide the right information at the right time can be said as NIMI (Nature Inspired Machine Intelligence). No matter who develops, any R&D division of a small company to Microsoft, Infosys, TCS, Wipro can emerge as a indisputable common brand in common mans day to day life. I say it because I believe technology has to be cheaper and should always reach common man as a help. What is the future of burning carbon and making a global footprint on Ozone layer? To avoid education and methodologies has to evolve from basic to basic+1 at least.
