“What humans know that Watson Doesn’t,” by Trevor Pinch talks about

can make machines know somethings, but they will never have an experience like a

human has. In this case Watson (the IBM supercomputer) makes a mistake by not

knowing the name of the airport which is named after a world war II hero and its

second name after a World War II battle.
