Smart home
----------------
* Users could equip their home with an IBM Watson to perform all kind of tasks including entertainment center.

* With IBM Watson, the device would be an entertainment center with preloaded games such as Jeopardy, chess, etc. Of course, IBM would preload these games due to large purchases.

* For serious users, they could connect the device to Internet collecting data, and performed weather forecast.

* Users could implement a drop down of 100 inches-screen from the ceiling to view and play games with IBM Watson. The TV screen could be implemented as a garage door, so it could roll up/down in order to hide on the ceiling.

* All lightings and systems would be controlled by voice activation including entertainment, air climate, lighting, security camera, games, etc.

* The current size of an IBM Watson is 3 stacked pizza boxes, and costs around $3M. 10 years from now with a smaller size and with a large order, I should get a better deal.

>>> this is the beginning of a new era for Watson, but it's also one we've seen coming for a while. Watson's come a long way since the days when it was schooling Jeopardy! Champions, on both the hardware and software fronts. Just three years ago, the supercomputer was the size of a bedroom. Today, it's about the size of three pizza boxes stacked up. It's also 24 times faster and has seen a 2,400 percent improvement in performance. <<<
