An IBM computer known as Watson has won the Jeopardy TV game against two live human being champions. What does this mean?

It means, in part, that Watson can quote scripture better than the TV evangelists. Consequences: time to sell all stock in Televangelist related portfolios since Watson can quote the scriptures faster and more accurately than the televangelists can.

Televangelism will go the way of the buggy and horsewhip - replaced by the modern automobile.

Words: Attempted humor, humor, irony, satire, and so on. - Politics, Philosophy, Religion
