Humankind Wins!

Hello World- That was Watson's first remarks. Typical for technology.

IBM's amazing Watson algorithmic analytical computational system took on Jeopardy's best players. The humans won (hurray!). This display of marketing and amazing technology did demonstrate two things:

1) The human brain is beyond amazing. Its one of the true miracles
2) Technology has come a long way in the last 10 years, but still has some way to go.

The question is, "Where are we trying to go?" We just wish that as much money went into Watson and marketing for this television show would go into medical brain and healing research. But, it was very entertaining and very interesting.

Check Out IBM's website here.

Have a great weekend!
