A light-hearted look at the potential future of EMR storage today. How would it be if the information could not only be stored, but analysed, trended, and projected… The new IBM super-computer Watson could, theoretically, do just that.
Watson is currently playing Jeopardy in the US against two former Jeopardy champions, and at the moment it is neck and neck.
Watson has 15TB of memory, and the amount of information it holds would take a person over 200 years to read. Not only that but it can analyse and has, to a certain extent, “logical” thought.
My money is probably on Watson, IBM have a good track record in this area. Who else recalls Deep Blue beating Kasparov back in 1997 – something at the time we all believed was impossible!
