The only thing that amazed me is...people actually applauded for the computer ..'Watson'..."Alex, I'll take 'The Matrix' for $2,000...."

What?....Who?...Me?... .....What'd I do?..... Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of crap by the clean end.

Replace people?  You must be joshing....absolutely not!  Watson is impressive, no doubt, but no threat...none...nada....zipola...

Makes you stop and think how close we are to the next step, and that I don't care for.

Change my view of computers? No. Are computers better than people? No (people created Watson). Computers are just machines and we have been building machines for many centuries that do certain things better than a person. Bulldozers move more dirt in a day than a person can in a decade. Cars can travel hundreds of times faster than people can walk or run. Airplanes can fly, people can't. Computers can store vast amounts of information, and retrieve, analyze, and react to the results in fractions of a second...but they can't think, we can.
