    Advances in technology like this make me think about what a wonderful time it is to be alive. I’m glad I’m young enough to theoretically live well into the 2050s, but my lifespan might be increased further with advancements in medicine.

    I look forward to what the future holds for computer science, robotic engineering and many other facets of technology and scientific endeavours.

    Will Watson make redundant my job as the collective memory of clusterflock?

    I was honestly in awe and (embarrassingly) near tears in the first part. I just couldn’t believe the achievement mankind has made with machine and technology. It’s utterly brilliant.
