The past few days we've been watching two of "Jeopardy's" top brainiacs compete against a computer named Watson, one of IBM's creations, and Big Bore is in a ball of snit (as in agitation, and not a ball of snot) because the computer is kicking ass...big time."The next thing you know we'll be electing a computer for president," he grumbled. "This is like some 'Twilight Zone' movie." As in scary.
"It's just another example of how Big Brother is watching," he continued in Orwellian authority. "Computers are going to be able to take over the world."
He was especially upset that the "Jeopardy" audience was responding to Watson.
"They're clapping for a damned computer! What's wrong with them?" he raged on.
Tomorrow is the last day Watson will be on the show--and not a minute too soon. It's rather boring watching this computer rattle out the correct answers in record speed. I much prefer having three human brains compete against each other. And Big Bore can calm down and quit sounding like a grumpy old man...at least from 4:30 to 5 PM, anyway.
