It is amazing how technology is these days. I mean, what can possibly be next is the question I have. One day people are going to be born and chips will be implanted in their brains so they will be a living computer/robot/genius. Answers to anything and everything are all a two second search from a phone, a computer, an iPad, etc. Who ever refers to books anymore unless it is strictly stated when writing a paper or something.
I don't know the whole story with this computer on Jeopardy because I've only watched the show a hand full of times. So I don't know why they decided to do this, however I'm sure it is to test a computer against two people and see the turn out. This computer, Watson, on "Jeopardy" doesn't really surprise me that it is going to be faster and know the answers because it has all the knowledge. I would be more worried as the person going against it because it would make them look like they don't know anything.
