The Mechanical Turk

Apparently it has been discovered that there are some jobs that a human can do better then a computer. Amazon.com, the internet bookseller, has made a website called the Mechanical Turk where you can sign up to do these tasks for a pittance. As a human that is. If you are a computer do not even think about it.

I think you have to look at different pictures and tell them which is a rabbit and which is the WHSmiths in Kidderminster, but I’m not sure.

If you have no idea what I am on about but are interested then read the FAQs.

If you have no idea what I am on about and are not interested I cannot really blame you. But there again it is Sunday evening, always a slow time for blogging excitement.
