Is Machine Smarter than Man?

Recently this week on Jeopardy, two of the most winningest men ever to play faced off against the super-computer named Watson. On a 30-question game board the two men only managed to answer 5 questions corectly between them in the Double Jeopardy round. One guy ended up with $4,800 and the other with $10,400. But Watson blew them out of the park with a whopping $35,374. That seems pretty ambarrasing to me. I don't know if that was the last show they will compete in, but hopefully the humans will have a chance to redeem themselves against the machine. So my thoughts are will man create a machine so intelligent that will eventually threaten man? An example that came to my mind is from the movie Terminator. I hope everyone has seen at least one of the Terminators to know what SkyNet is. But if not, it is a super-computer that pretty much wants to destroy all of mankind to us from ourseleves. Or something like that. If I'm wrong you may correct me.

#3 Super Granny!!

If you haven't already seen the video on YouTube or on the news, you find it enjoyable to watch. In the clip it shows a bunch of thieves robbing a jewelry store (I'm not sure of the location). The along comes this little old lady dressed in a red coat and a purse on her shoulder. She starts swinging her purse at the thieves over and over. The funny thing is they react as if they have no idea what to do. They try and dodge her and eventually they take off. So was she doing the right thing thing by trying to stop them or was she unaware of what possible danger she could have been in? For all I know they could have had a weapon and really hurt the old lady. But since she wasn't harmed and she did prevent them from snatching up more stuff, she is a hero.

Superbowl Sunday

This sunday is Super Bowl 45 which includes the Greeen Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers won the superbowl  in 2009 and 2006, but the last time the Packers won was superbowl in 1998. These two teams have a historic rivalry which began in 1921. And out of all the games they have played against one another, Chicago leads the series 92-84-6. Every year the Madden videogame simulate a single game with both teams in the superbowl. This year's simulation resulted in the Bears winning. Both teams have a solid defense and many weapons on offense. I, myself, would like to see the Packers win just because they have not won a superbowl in a while. And also because I do not like the stellers quarterback as much as the packers quarterback. So who do you think will win and what factors contribute to your decision?
