IBM is developing a computer that will be able to play the game Jeopardy. It will do this using voice recognition and a program that will break down the question. To read about it check out this article.

http://www.technologyreview.com/computing/22702/

How many remember when the computer played a Chess Champion and lost only one match. The Chess Player called foul because each night the computer was reprogrammed with all the new movies the player had used. Think of the implications. Will we be able to give a computer a series of commands and have it respond. Could a person go to a web site and ask medical questions and receive a diagnosis on line. Will we be creating a computer like Hal from 2001 a Space Odyssey?

i am a programmer so i am really amazed on this new technologies..

With regards to this IBM project it really challenge those Jeopardy since it will be now on real time with voice recognition online oh no its really a difficult one..

But i know not for IBM since they are expert on this technology..
Just to point put some disadvantages on this that i can view is that

voice recognition feature would be a tough task for them since some of the areas have low internet connection so the line would a little bit chappy so with that it can't be recognized fully but i know IBM is also dealing w/ this one. happy

I haven't heard that game, but the machine that IBM will launch anytime this year will be a HUGE one.. And I'm sure that other company also thinking to come up with their own version. And I believe in the capacity of a person who will make that machine. Goodluck!
