Talking to a robot on MSN Chat
I have been day dreaming you may say by reading the title, well I did think that I was when I was talking to a robot on a messenger, not any robot though one who could answer most of my questions correctly.
Yes a robot who can chat and answer my questions correctly, surprised so was I, well this is not a joke, the robot I am talking about is an Encarta robot called Encarta Instant Answers which can answer your question's based on anything that's there in MSN Encarta® .
MSN Encarta® is an online Encyclopedia, Dictionary, Atlas, and Homework helper: it's your gateway for interactive learning on the Web.
I am totally amazed at the shape technology can take today. With such innovations life is definitely going to be easier.
Here goes my conversation with the robot. ( Check the end of the article to know how you can chat with him too )

Actually yeah we “stumbled” with Stumble Upon…I’ve had this blog entry come up twice in when hitting “stumble” actually.
And I’m pro-robot 100%…I just didn’t think this one seemed particularly advanced or anything. Acceptable, but not fantastic.
