What is Watson?
In one week the world will change forever.
Man vs. Machine is the name of the game and in 6 days the most incredible contests since Deep Blue beat the chess grand master Kasparov is about to take place on National Television. The super computer developed by IBM "WATSON" is preparing to take on the Jeopardy grand champion Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter. I don't know about you, but I don't just find jeopardy hard, I suck at it, but you have to be really good at remembering facts to compete on it. WATSON will answer these complex tricky question at the same time as the Contestants. The technical implications of this will be invaluable, but the more important thing and the reason we are all watching is the social implication. Imagine a computer that can give you any answer as long as it's written in a book somewhere, even if it doesn't understand it, and you can just begin to see how this will change everything. The A.I. Winter is finally over welcome to the Re-Birth of A.I., and just in time for 2012, while were at it.
Showtimes: Jeopardy 7:30PM EST, Febuary 14, 15, & 16

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This is, I repeat, the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."- Dwight D. Eisenhower
