Google Boys

Google turned into a large profitable corporation from a 2 man operation by creators Brin and Paige. They originally idea they had was to sell the company but they realized it would be smarter to keep it. They faced challenges like business promotions for other sites and creating Googlebot. Googlebot helps narrow down searches to insure the best and most accurate answer. This helped them stay ahead of competition such as Safari, Bing, Yahoo and Firefox. Also their information online helps to warn people about health care.

Eliza Blog post

4. Do you see in the future that computers could be a good 'human-like" substitute? 1. No I do not find that Eliza is human like because she can't really follow a conversation and mostly just aggravates people.  2. I would program her to answer simple questions like answer how old are you or when is your birthday. It will make her seem fro realistic 3. If they people who created Eliza are trying to make her seem realistic she needs to be able to answer question relating emotions. Simple questions such as how is your day going, how do you feel should be able to be answered.  4. No i do not think that this computer will ever be "human like." Nothing will ever replace a person to person contact.
