Algorithms for weather forecasting, financial market forecasting, predicting scores, predicting the perfect date on a friday night (you get the gist, algorithms can be used to predict a lot of things!!) have been around for a while.
While it is "easier" to predict the "future" from related events rooted in the past, scientists have been working on developing Algorithms that can 'predict' the future out of several unrelated events, EMBERS from Virginia Tech comes to mind.
The question today is, would Marty McFly have done better if he had access to such an Algorithm in 1989? Go through the scorecard below and leave your comments!
Haha! Nice. like this post :-)
