IBM wants to use this technology to assist doctors but i say why not use this as the new future of search? It's a completely organic interaction where you ask a questions and receive a response. There are a fair amount of times where something like this could come in handy. Watch out Google!
Of course this would more than likely be detrimental to the educational edge of ones society. Instead of retaining information from textbooks, lectures, and lessons people become reliant on a computer to answer all of their questions.
Regardless, i still think that Watson could easily unseat contemporary search engines by using an organic conversation as opposed to search terms/entering keywords. (Price comparisons, map functions, etc would still need a highly visual interface of course)
