@achilleshoplite because in a few years, in like the 2030's Watson's mind will grow even more powerful and it will take over the world and rule us all.

Did this machine "listen" to the questions or were they sent to it as text?

[ranamuhammadatif]

Just remember what happened to the astronaut in 2001: A space odyssey before you get too used to this machine

Now all we need to do is build a good humanoid robot with a wireless connection to Watson to help with its decision-making.

@noja916 lol i know i mean why so big. LOL

[noja916]

@huudiduu for that to be possible you would need waaay more cpu.

watson required a supercomputer to calculate one question, and it still had about one secound delay, imagine what would be required to calculate millions of questions from all over the world.
