		<description><![CDATA[IBM&#8217;s computer named &#8220;Watson&#8221; has beaten Jeopardy! (human) contestants in a series of games this month. IBM has a long history of innovations (watch this other 100th anniversary documentary featuring Greg Chaitin and Benoit Mandelbrot, among others here). Not everybody was impressed by Watson though, according to Gavin C. Schmitt who interviewed Noam Chomsky, the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The idea that a machine could perform the tasks of any other machine is the description of a Universal (Turing) machine. Its invention is considered by many to have been one of the major landmarks giving rise to the field of computer science. &#8216;Universal&#8217; means that one can &#8216;program&#8217; a general-purpose machine to perform the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having quit his studies in physics, Theo Jansen became an artist. In this video he demonstrates his amazing life-like kinetic sculptures, built from plastic tubes and bottles. His Beach Creatures or Strandbeest are built to move and even survive on their own: I&#8217;ve been in touch with Theo Jansen recently. For further details about his [...]]]></description>
