“I work for IBM and I want to build a smarter planet”
IBM’s Watson will be used under the banner of building a smarter planet, only to intrude on everything we do. First it starts out as smart water and electric meters and then onto smart parking meters that “zero out” when you pull away, then it quickly becomes this: Roads that know and enforce their speed limit. Then it moves to variable speed limits on the same road, all in the name of safety, because if it saves one life, doncha know....
Then it’s onto monitored toilet flushes and hairdryer usage, then it achieves full awareness when the electricity flowing into your house is reduced/throttled without your knowledge.
(There are already smart water heaters that won’t heat water during the middle of the day)
This Ford thing is just another brick in the wall.
there is a reason w.buffet dumped IBM.
