Re: Amazon Has a Long Way to Go
@DHagar, @mpouraryan, another example of the Reverse Turing process in action. When I'm having trouble locating something on Google, I often ask myself "What search terms would a scatterbrained person of limited vocabulary formulate?" and enter them without any logical terms (no and, or, but, or not and no exact text symbols). Not only does what I am looking for often show up in the first 25 or so returned results; it often shows up in the first 5.
We are gradually producing people who are able to be dumb enough to imitate machines. Marketers and politicians everywhere may rejoice.

Re: Amazon Has a Long Way to Go
Ever so true--our challenge is to somehow retain our humanity. Whether that in fact is possible is another question. They are all doing the thinking for us and frankly that should scare us all.

Re: Amazon Has a Long Way to Go
@mpouraryan, very true. Technology will not solve everything and we need to use the tools appropriately.
Clearly, Amazon has unleashed so many positive applications, and they continue to develop new frontiers. Pretty impressive overall!

Re: Amazon Has a Long Way to Go
@John Barnes, well stated! We just need to get "in sync" with the machine processing. Thanks for insights!
Note: On the political front, maybe that is one of the factors contributing to this year's "highly unusual" political campaign.

Re: Amazon Has a Long Way to Go
@mouraryan, regarding the humanity - absolutely. That's why we need to keep thinking - the race is on, but if we keep thinking we will win.

Re: Amazon Has a Long Way to Go
I won't find it presumption to advise Jeff Bezos--however we all have been witness to Blackberry, Digital, Sun and all the luminaries that have been relegated to footprints in the revolution (note I said Revolution...not transformation) and all have to tread lightly.

Re: Amazon Has a Long Way to Go
@mpouraryan, great points. And your distinction between revolution and transformation is an excellent one!

Re: Amazon Has a Long Way to Go
If we believe Kurzweil, though, it seems as if machines will take over us all--and we have to do our part to avoid it at all costs.
Food thought on this Earth Day as I wish all Happy Earth Day and a great weekend :))
