IBM's Watson Turns Its Computer Brain to NASA Research By Sarah Lewin, Space.com Staff Writer | December 16, 2016 12:38pm ET      MORE  IBM's Watson computer system, hosted in the cloud, is taking on NASA's big research data. Credit: IBM IBM's question-answering whiz, the Watson computer system, famously beat former winners on Jeopardy in 2011 — and now it's digging into aerospace research and data to help NASA answer questions on the frontier of spaceflight science and make crucial decisions in the moment during air travel. More than 60 years after the first IBM computing machines showed up in the halls of NASA's Langley Research Center , new work at Langley will use IBM tech to help researchers sort through the huge volumes of data that is generated by aerospace research. "There's so much data out there that consists of unstructured text that usually only humans can make sense of, but the challenge is that there's too

Digital Pen A digital pen is one of the new electronic inventions that can help us record information. Despite the digital age, we still use pens. But it would be great to have our handwritten notes and drawings digitally recorded without having to use a scanner. The Zpen from Dane-Elec is a wireless pen that uses a clip-on receiver to digitally record what you write. It uploads the information to your computer where it can be viewed, edited and filed as a word processing document. The digital pen utilizes character recognition software and works by recording movement. Features include profile creation, a dictionary and fifteen language options. Source: danedigital.com
