The third transformative era brings us full circle. The first transformative era was when the industrial revolution changed the driving force from muscle to machine. The second era was from machine to mind, when leaders like J.P. Morgan created new industry. Then in 1950 an IBMer Arthur Samuel created a computerized checkers game where instead of being programmed – for the first time – the machine actually learned. This ushered the third era of mind & machine, completing the full circle … and with the likes of Watson, this has been dubbed the cognitive era.
