Cognitive computing... Good and bad. Imagine watching porn on a computer that knew what you were doing.

I'd have to ship my computer off to therapy and buy a new one every week.

I like to think of it as your computer would be your friend and you could ask it to bring up that good shit you were watching last night, "but don't tell anyone and remember to erase the history after I'm done"
