Reply to this with 250 words 11-16 )Do you think Watson Will be as useful in other industries as IBM hopes? Will it be beneficial to everyone?Explain your answer. The new wave of Cognitive Computing must evolve and undergo similar learning experiences like the human reasoning faculties it tries to imitate. The success of Watson has open the door to new possibilities of automated Information Technology systems dedicated to relieve human's of the burden of problem solving and researching in an array of fields. They will be based on human cognitive capabilities simulation, through sophisticated machine learning algorithms inherited from the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), as well as on the imitation of the human reasoning (Mohda, 2011). In more detail, we can identify three main areas in which cognitive computing will cover a significant role, that are: advancements in computation capabilities, human-computer interactions and communication, and the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT). Healthcare: Watsons Jeopardy! victory raised to a wide audience the question of the similarity between artificial intelligence and human intelligence (Detterman, 2011). Then, new landscapes can be envisaged for the exploitation of such capabilities and we make a short excursus on healthcare, for it is one of the most challenging research areas Education: Another important and promising field of application for the exploitation of cognitive computing services is education. Specifically, according to the smarter university model (Coccoli et al., 2014), cognitive computing-based applications and services should be adopted for administration and management, and learning activities as well. From the e-learning point of view, we report some experiences that witness how cognitive computing can be an accelerator for students achievements, and a valuable support for the teachers. Software Development: We report an interesting experience of using cognitive computing in educational settings, that is the Watson Student Showcase (Byrd, 2016) organized by IEEE jointly with IBM. Students were challenged in a competition where they had to develop apps using the cognitive computing services included in Bluemix. Teacher Support: Another aspect is related to the support that teachers could get from cognitive computing-based applications in solving common students issues such as, e.g., school dropout, individualization of learning, customization of training path, etc., due to their capability of analyzing data (Mayer-Schonberger & Cukier, 2013). According to a novel paradigm, the teacher can ask the cognitive computing-based system to talk with students, in order to understand what are individual strengths and weaknesses and possible issues to face up to.
