Google Boys

At first Google was just a search sight. Then they started to have companies on there website for people to see. After they did that they started making a lot of money. One challenge they faced was for downloading so many things from one we website they were going to be sewed. another challenged they faced was prepossessing and putting all the information into the website (Google). They key was to have a good staff and good workers. Also there advertisement and how they got there name out there. How they got there information is from other reliable websites.

Eliza

I did not find Eliza to be human like. She didn't really know how to have a good normal conversation. If i were to make her more human i would make sure that she would have a good conversation with each person. Make her talk and seem more human. I can expect most computer programs to be very robotic. Not very emotional or having any good conversation. I think it is possible for computer to become more human like. They've done a lot already with computers.
