The computer consists of hundreds of servers ( the screen you see on the picture is just his avatar) which stored lots of information and was not connected to the internet at all. The avatar shows a globe which shows lines around it. The faster the computer thinks, the faster the lines move. The computer makes a decision to answer if it is certain that it is the answer...or so it thinks, as it has also got a number of questions wrong. The computer ended up anihliating the competition in the end. The computer took 4 years to develop and it wasnt as smart as it is now and still is a bit dumb ( Toronto is not a US city....or is it predicting the future due to robopocalapyse). So how much would this all cost? I want one !!!
