I want to have a sophisticated debug system with programing soft wares like the C++ builder.I’m quite satisfied with computers nowadays. I can calculate very fast with the Microsoft Excel and make a splendid paper with LaTEX. However, I have trouble in writing a program with using the C language.

I want to have a sophisticated debugging system with software products for programing like the C++ Builder. I’m quite satisfied with computers nowadays. I can calculate very fast with Microsoft Excel and write a splendid paper with LaTEX. However, I have trouble writing a program with the C language. Since a program always has bugs in it, I run across errors very often. It takes a lot of time to find why it works in a wrong way, because my own codes, whose grammar is at least correct, always look right. Hence, I want computers to help me find the bugs by pointing out suspicious parts. I think they can consult a battery of codes in internal libraries and easily debug programs. That function surely prevents me from wasting time. (133 words)

While I am using my computer, I often eat junk food. However, some junk food sticks to my fingers, and I have to clean them up before I touch the keyboard. This is really annoying. Moreover, I have a lot of trouble typing a numerical formula with Microsoft Word. For these reasons, I want a computer which can understand the human voice and can work as ordered. If such a computer should be made, we

could write papers very easily. Also, we would not have to type complex numerical formulas as we do now. We just speak some words, and the computer would recognize what we said and the sentences would appear quickly on the screen. Such a nice computer is really desirable for me. (125words)

If I could make my computer do something new, I would like it to send information stored in it to my brain.Today, more and more information and knowledge are becoming available, and it is impossible for us to keep up. In addition, the amount of knowledge needed to do something has become overwhelming. We can't do anything unless we spend much time to figure it out. For example, when it comes to research, we have to know a lot of theories and principles before we start our own research.If my computer could send information directly to my brain, I wouldn't have to spend as much time for my study. I could master anything, including English, and I would be able to concentrate on inventing something which no one has ever come up with. (132words)

If I could make my computer do something new, I want it to complete my weekly worksheet of Scientific English. Now, I do it in the class every week, but I feel it is just a waste of time because the level of questions is much lower than that of the university entrance exam. Our English skills can never improve with them, I think. I want to make presentations or to discuss something in the class, rather than to answer useless questions. I want credits with ease, but as long as I study in the class, I want to develop my skills and acquire (new) knowledge with good contents. We are allowed to finish the rest of the worksheet at home if we cannot finish it during the class, so I want my computer to do it. Instead of doing it, I want to study something different.

Because I live in a lodging house, I always have to prepare meals for myself. It is very annoying when I am busy. And the dishes made by me are sometimes very unsavory.

So, if I could make my computer do something new, I would make my computer cook food.For example, when I want to eat noodles, I investigate the recipes for noodles on the Internet. Then I would buy the ingredients for my noodle dish. Next, I would put the ingredients in my computer. Finally, my computer makes the noodle dish from the ingredients according to the recipe which was found. I think that it is a very useful ability of the computer for people who live alone.

I already have a new computer and it is very comfortable to use, but if I could ask for new features for my computer, I would like a smaller size and a larger memory

Though it is not true that the smaller a computer becomes, the easier it is to carry around, we can not access new information whenever we like if a computer is not portable.And I have used a computer since I was in elementary school, but I have run out of each computer’s memory soon. As the modern world is changing rapidly, computers are necessary tools to get up-to-date information. But we can not get new information without enough memory.Therefore, I would choose a computer which is smaller and has a larger memory.

I would like my computer to be smarter when I search for something using Google.  Computers and the Internet are very useful and we can get much information using them, but sometimes I have difficulty searching for information.  Of course, I can explain what kind of information I am looking for to others, but we can’t search for information by explaining to our computers.  Although I’m used to search for information using computers, sometimes it’s difficult for me to get the information that I need.  I think many people have the same trouble.  So, I want my computer to understand what I want.  I’d like to speak to or type on my computer like I explain to others.

I would like to make my computer help me to stay healthy. So, I want to change my computer so that it will have new functions of checking my condition. For example, these functions will include measurement of body temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure, etc. I believe prevention is better than cure, as the proverb says. And daily medical checkups will inhibit diseases from becoming worse because I can become aware of suffering any diseases in their initial stages. But I rarely go to the doctor's until some serious symptoms occur because I can’t be bothered to go to the doctor's to get a medical checkup. Actually, frequent medical checkups by the doctor will cost me much money. Thus, these new functions will help me a lot. In conclusion, I would like to make my computer give daily medical checkups to me.

If I could make my computer do something new, I want　it　to be able to understand my feelings and show me clearly what I’m thinking and make me relax. I want to know what I’m thinking, because I sometimes can’t understand what my real feelings are. And if my computer can show what I’m thinking about and make me relax, then I can solve my problem easily. This is because I have strange feelings which I can’t understand when I have some trouble and can’t solve the problem. So, if it is possible, I want my computer to understand my feelings and show them to me clearly.

If I could make my computer do something new, I would make a computer that can think like a human being. In my view, a computer with this function will come out as a great invention in the near future. That is because a computer is just a machine now, and developing a humanoid computer is an interesting challenge. Many people all around the world may take advantage of it. You can talk with the computer and it will interact with you via the process like the one in our brain. Therefore, it can interpret your demand, and decide what to do correctly, so it can reduce the risk of mistake. Another example is that people can buy goods from the comfort of their home by using this computer; it can judge the quality of products and decide what is good for you. All the above is what I want my computer to do.

I like to play board games such as go. However, it is said that computers will not be able to play go for some time to come  because there are too many possible moves  for computers to decide where to put the stones. Therefore, if I could make my computer do something new, I would make my computer play go as well as humans. If computers could actually play go, I could enjoy playing go even if there is no one to play against. I think I can clear my head and feel relaxed by playing go, so it is a desirable new feature for me.

I want a computer to cut the foodstuff when I cook. I like cooking, but I am not good at cutting foodstuffs because I don’t like such a simple work very much. Cutting the foodstuff takes too much time when I cook. What is more, food stuff deteriorates if it is cut and left for a long time. So, if a computer could cut the foodstuff efficiently during my cooking, I could reduce the cooking time and could spend more time to enjoy delicious food.It could makes me want to cook more and I could save food expenses in theend. But to practice and get used to cutting is an easier measure forimprovement than make a computer do that.

If I could make my computer do something new, I would make it understand what I say and work following my instructions.Actually, a similar technology has been studied and known as speech recognition system. It already has been applied to military systems, hands-free computing, machine translation, games, and so on, but it is not perfect yet. In science fiction movies, computers can completely understand the instructions from the characters even if it is very complex while the present system can only recognize simple instructions. However, I believe sooner or later the technology will be accomplished and make our daily lives more comfortable.

I want to make my computer do the laundry. Certainly there already exists a washing machine, but I don't think it is perfect yet, compared with the computer I think is admirable. What I want my computer to do is gathering my filthy clothes, washing, drying out and

folding them. This is because I think doing the laundry is one of the most bothering but most important household chores. If I don't wash my clothes at all, I'll get in trouble because there will be no clothes to wear and my room begins to stink. However, if I use the dream computer, these problems won't occur since computers can perform the job neatly.

I want to make my computer keep the record of all the things in my room. Every day it checks my goods and keeps track of every thing I have, such as books, pens, clothes, and bags. It also knows the size of my room and where the bookcases stand. It advises me a good way to store my various things. This everyday advice makes my room tidy, and I can always know where what I want to use is. Now, I often forget where I put my things and I have trouble finding the thing I need, and so I want my computer to resolve this problem.

I want to write music on my computer because I hear that computer helps me to compose music. I belong to the music club and play the guitar. Recently, one of my friends made his own song and played it very well. Since I was very impressed with it, I also wanted to make my own song. However, I don't have any musical knowledge and skills necessary for composition. Then, my friend told me that by using a computer, I could compose a nice song easily without musical knowledge. If I get enough money to buy the software from my part-time job, I will buy it and make a lot of songs.

If I could, though it may have been developed, I want to enable my computer to help me to write papers. When I try to explain what I think or make up my mind to form my opinion, I usually have to spend more time than others do.　This may be because my ability to think logically and make decisions is not refined enough. It is not easy for me to finish my papers or essays. So, if my computer could help me to brainstorm in some way, for example, by asking some questions at suitable intervals, I would complete my work efficiently. Of course, I have to make the decisions for myself about how I write in the end, but I really want such a computer.

If I could make my computer do something new, my computer would

be able to show me TV programs such as variety shows. Once, I rarely watched TV. So I didn’t buy a TV set when I came to Kyoto. But now, I want to watch TV because it is so boring and lonely to stay in my room alone. There is no sound of laughter in my room. And I want to participate in a conversation about what drama is most interesting these days. So if I had special knowledge of a computer, I would convert my computer into a TV set.

And I want to participate in a conversation about what drama is most interesting these days. So if I had special knowledge of a computer, I would convert my computer into a TV set.

This is a very difficult question, because now we can do almost anything we can imagine with computers. However, if I dare to mention one thing, I would choose this one: I want my computer to show the exact script of a voice file automatically. I think this will be a great help for me when listening to foreign languages like English and German via podcast or something. Actually, there are some sound files that come with the scripts, but some like live news don't have them. I want my computer to analyze the audio signal automatically and offer the exact script whenever I want it. I’m sure this will greatly help not only me but everyone who wants to improve their listening skills by using their computers.

If I could make my computer do something new, I would make it choose only the essential information. For example, when I want to know the differences between two countries, it would compare them automatically and give me the answers immediately and correctly. At present, I can get much information from the computer,

but I have difficulties in choosing the most important information. If my computer had such functions, I could get useful information easily and wouldn’t bother about selecting only the right information any more. It could save me time and labor. Thanks to it, I could use time more effectively. I believe this new function enriches my life.

I would like to make my computer instruct me how to cook vocally.I’m not good at cooking, so every day I have difficulties in cooking for myself. Perhaps some people think that I should refer to cooking books or buy ready-made products. However, there is no place to put a book around my kitchen counter. And, I’d like to have food whose place of origin and ingredients I know because I have food allergies. If my computer instructs me when to add spices and how much as well as how long I should boil vegetables from a short distance away, I could succeed in making more delicious meals, using food which I have checked.

I would like my computer to do my housework because I could save time by making my computer do my housework. I live in Kyoto apart from my family, and I have to do housework every day and spend some time on doing it. I’m bored of doing housework such as washing, cooking, cleaning my room and so on, and I often think if only someone or something did housework every day for me. If I didn’t have to do housework, I could spend more time on what I want to do. It is desirable for me to be able to concentrate on only what I want to do. Therefore, if I could make my computer do something new, I would like my computer to do housework for me.

I belong to an a cappella circle and sing a cappella songs now. A cappella music is not as popular as rock music and classical music. Moreover those who perform a cappella music are overwhelmingly fewer in number than those who perform rock music or classical music. So it is very difficult for us to get scores of a cappella songs because most of score stores don’t sell them. If we want to sing a cappella songs, we have to listen to them again and again, understand the harmony and rhythm of them, and take them down in musical notation. It’s a very complicated task. That’s why I would make my computer take a cappella songs down in musical notation only from the sounds of them.

If I could, I would like to make my computer do a physical checkup. It is not a function which I really want since the functions which I hoped for have been made available already. However, I think it would be convenient if I can get a physical checkup using my computer. This is because I can do it at home without going to a hospital. Therefore, when I have something wrong with my body, I can check it soon. I think I would check my body even when I’m fine, so I’ll get a physical checkup more often than now, which will help me to live a healthy life.

If I could make my computer do something new, I would make it talk with me in foreign languages. In addition, when I make a mistake, it corrects my mistake or tells me a better expression, or when I come across a word whose meaning I do not know and ask its meaning, it tells me. Now I am practicing English speaking for myself with handouts prepared by Mr. Aotani, but if I had someone to talk with in English, I would make more progress in speaking English. In addition, since I also study French, I would like my computer to speak French as well. If my computer had such a function, it would be much more useful to me for learning foreign languages.

I want my computer to be able to have conversations with me. Back in my home in Awaji, there were almost always someone around me, but since I live in Kyoto alone, sometimes I become very lonely. Usually I call my friends or family, but I cannot do that when it is so late at night. If the computer was able to understand what I’m saying and answer properly, I don’t have to disturb them. I also want it to learn my personality as we have conversations and adjusts its "personality" accordingly so we can be well matched. Computers like this would be very helpful for me.

If I could make my computer do something new, I would like it to listen to me, understand what I say, and say something back to me without external assistance. In other words, I would like my computer to be independent. If I could do such a thing, I would be able to get proper solutions when I ask it about some difficult problems, such as mathematical problems. If I could do such a thing, when I have too many things to do, I could have it do all of them. Computers use binary codes, which is different from human beings,

so they may give me some creative and astonishing ideas. Now, I am almost always in front of my computer in order to do a lot of things, so if I could make conversation with it, I could enjoy doing my tasks.

If I could make my computer do something new, I think it would be talking with me. If my computer could do this, I could live an easy and enjoyable life. For example, if I have a problem, I can ask my computer how I can solve that problem. When I want to talk with someone and there isn’t anyone who can talk with me, I can talk with my computer. Perhaps, my computer will teach me how I can use it well. And I can strengthen the ability to communicate. That’s why my answer for this question is talking with me.
