Super Computer to Compete on Jeopardy!

On February 14th, the world will be able to witness something really magnificent. IBM has built a computer with a seemingly unlimited potential for knowledge. What is more impressive is that the computer named Watson is able to display its knowledge in the form of answers to Jeopardy! questions.

Watson will compete in a traditional game of Jeopardy! against champions Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter. Watson's  opponents are not normal champions, they are two of the top game show money earners of all time. Each has earned millions of dollars through the game of Jeopardy! Jennings won over 70 straight games of Jeopardy! to earn the bulk of his winnings.

Next month the showdown will commence. It's kinda scary how powerful technology is getting. Hopefully Watson isn't the next Skynet. I personally don't think the humans have a shot, simply because I think the computer can hit the buzzer faster than them but who knows. What do you think?
