I for one, welcome our new computer overlords.

For the past three nights on Jeopardy, a computer built and designed by IBM was one of the three contestants. Amazingly it wasn't perfect at the game, but ended up being the victor. Some of the answers given by the machine, especially during double jeopardy, were incorrect. It seemed as if like categories were easier for the machine to process rather than when the categories were constantly switched. Of the two human contestants, Ken Jennings put up the most fight against the machine and before final jeopardy lagged behind by only $5,000. In the end, it was rather disheartening to see Jennings lose to Watson, especially his aside during final Jeopardy (even though it was funny at the time...). Overall this experience shows how our intelligence works in comparison to that of robots and how we are limited to function, while they are limitless in design. Who knows what may come next, maybe adorable humanoid robots, like those from the ashley wood universe or some crazy robo-revolution like the Flight of the Conchords song "The Humans Are Dead". You never know what they can do with technology nowadays...
