{link » Wolfram|Alpha Is Coming!}
Having been invited to participate in a webinar this afternoon, wherein Wolfram himself presented a one-hour live demo of the soon-to-be launched system, I came away feeling the kind of excitement with which I first greeted the Web itself 15 years ago. I sensed then that the online experience will transform the way in which we will conduct our daily activities. I now sense that Wolfram|Alpha will transform the way in which we will think about things.
I predict Wolfram|Alpha, which basic computational knowledge engine will be available online free of charge, will eventually become the indispensible tool for education, business, and academic research.

“Some might say that Mathematica and A New Kind of Science are ambitious projects. But in recent years I’ve been hard at work on a still more ambitious project — called Wolfram|Alpha. And I’m excited to say that in just two months it’s going to be going live”And when it does, within a few weeks time, I predict it will become the long awaited killer app that will transform the way the civilized world processes data, information, and knowledge.

“There's been great anticipation around Stephen Wolfram's ambitious project to create a comprehensive "computational knowledge engine." The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University will host a sneak preview of the Wolfram|Alpha system, and a discussion of its underlying technology and implications. Participants will include Wolfram|Alpha founder Stephen Wolfram and Professor of Law Jonathan Zittrain. Stephen Wolfram is the creator of Mathematica, the author of A New Kind of Science, and now the creator of Wolfram|Alpha. He is the founder and CEO of Wolfram Research.”Post #737 God's Gift to Inquiring Minds — Wolfram|Alpha
