# 30

IBM's good friend Watson has recently played a game of Jeopardy and has the ability to win at every single question with out a hiccup in the system. Watson was leading with $5500 while they other two human competors where about $2000 behind be advised though, this is not just the basic Jeopardy, this is the Jeopardy Champions game which shows that a computer has the ability to win but one thing that is a bit scary is that Watson, has the ability to analyze voice stress and then give a emotion based off of what is said to the word Watson. If something funny is said the icon of a smile will be depicted on the face based on the mood.  This is a bit to advanced for computer for the fact that the book R.U.R is a bit of a reference I am trying to get at.
