Part 2: Original Intro to Wolfram|Alpha by Stephen Wolfram

Wolfram|Alpha is the first step in an ambitious, long-term project to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable by anyone. Wolfram|Alpha uses its built-in algorithms and an ever-growing collection of data to compute the answers to your questions and calculations.

In this video, Wolfram|Alpha creator Stephen Wolfram gives a quick introduction to the computational knowledge engine.
