The answering machine

"WolframAlpha" is starting to generate some anticipation. This seems to be a second attempt to have a "natural language" type search engine. It has been a dream for us to "speak to" a computer system in natural language, and get the required answers , rather than making a choice of keywords and hoping for the best for a web based search engine to throw up.

By the way, the first attempt "start" was an MIT project. Check it out.
