Planning for Your Cognitive Future

Am a  longtime follower and practical pracitioner of what we used to call AI.  Now it is called cognitive computing.  A smarter, gentler, better integrated and more focused means to communicate with, and augment the intelligence capabilities of humans.  IBM talks about the topic,  and some additional linked background. Good and non technical, but leads us to the question:  What do we do next with less than a huge budget?  How do we prepare for this on rushing future?
