I forced myself to watch the movie 127 hours this weekend, and I am so glad I did. Even though it was really gross at times, it was an amazing movie. Though what really got me interested was seeing the real Aron Ralston at the end of the movie. I went on YouTube and found his interview he did with Tom Brokaw, they actually relived the exact nightmare he went through. They visited the exact canyon where Aron was stuck, and they showed actual footage of Aron talking to the camera, talking about how he was going to die, and saying goodbye to his family. It was really something, watching this interview, there are 6 parts to the interview. Seeing the movie was one thing, but to see the actual man who had to cut his own arm off, and how brave he is for doing this interview was really something.

I thought this jeopardy computer the “Watson” was a really good idea. Technology is growing and becoming more advanced everywhere, so why not on Jeopardy. They tested it out a while ago, but made it better recently, and it was close but the computer did win while playing against the human players. I think that it’s a really good challenge, I don’t think that its unfair, or that the computer is too smart. I think it just offers the actual players to have a little more competition. I think viewers are really going to like seeing Watson play with other humans, because they can try to beat the computer not just the players. It’s going to add a new twist to the game show world for sure, I think more game shows could be adding in computers to play against players in the future.
