How can we most effectively address global poverty?

Nathan Nast on 16 Feb 11Can Watson give us the answers we need to get out of the economic hole we are in today? I believe we are going to rely on computers like Watson to much, and technology will go in the direction of the feed.

Watson may be able to get all the answers right, but only humans know how to ask the right questions.

This relates back to the feed, with the idea of human interaction. A computer (like watson) can always get you information or tell you the best place to eat...but computers cannot have feelings. They cannot have a sitdown conversation with you. They cant help you get through a tough time. After Computers are made to its full potential, human interaction will still be more important.

That’s actually much harder than it looks. As human beings, part of our intelligence is our ability to understand statements without much context—“Hey, did you get my email?” is often perfectly understandable because we know the reference point. But computers don’t have context, and often tell us things that are totally unrelated to what we are looking for.

I thought this whole paragraph was very interesting. The slang used in everyday language is to hard for a computer to learn. A human brain is capable of understanding this. I think in the feed they use slang (just like us) to get away from the feed. To act like rebels in a world that is hard to rebel against.
