If you watched Jeopardy this week you know that the machine replaced man as Watson beat two of the best hands down.
When the Computer Jedi start undermining the realm of human kind with their mind tricks should artists and writers and even actors worry? If a machine can beat Ken Jennings should creative people start looking for a cave?
Not if the nice folks at Google have anything to say about it. Google, the search engine people, you know, where you go to find that spatula you got for your wedding that the dog ate or Amazon to buy everything or that site which cannot bear the naming of...you know what I mean, Google the gateway to the Net, they've come up with The Art Project.
This virtual tour of the world's greatest museums allows even those living past the Caution: Edge of the Earth sign to see and appreciate great art. And it's just a click away, but don't take my word for it, use the link and see for yourself.
And don't worry, Watson doesn't have hands.
