Watson, the IBM supercomputer that won Jeopardy, is an example of how technology is rapidly improving. It is the first example of a computer being able to comprehend witty phrases, and pop culture references that require a person to "read between the lines". To some, like myself, it shows that technological advances are increasing at an incredibly rapid rate, and that it is a good thing. Some, however, would argue that it is a very bad thing, and that no computer should do what a human can. I agree with this statement, partially, because it is possible that too much technology can put people out of work in the future. While Watson is not a direct example of this, if people can design computers that can think like people, is it just a matter of time before they can think more logically than a lawyer defending a client? Or a doctor diagnosing a patient? It is far fetched to think these things, but in the distant future, or not so distant, according to who you talk to, it is very possible.
