IBM's Watson is capable of predicting way more important things.
But for now, it's all about Cyber Monday and Watson is not only predicting higher sales, but also the tech items expected to sell the best.
According to results over the weekend, online sales for the Saturday and Sunday following Black Friday were up 25.5 percent from that over the same weekend in 2014. In addition, the average order over the two days via mobile and desktop purchases was $130.57. Tablet orders also exceeded that of desktops with smartphones generating the most orders — accounting for 44 percent of all online traffic.
The way the IBM Watson Trend app works is it combines machine-learning technologies with natural language to unearth consumer preferences and patterns, helping to explain why people choose particular items or brands.
Taking that a step further, Watson Trend could also predict whether a particular trend will remain strong or prove to be nothing more than a fad.
Let's see how Watson's predictions for Cyber Monday hold up this year.

informations anywhere like for free drawing and etc. We are doing this for our
fortune, but it also can be used against us. Therefore we always need to be
aware of this issue and protect ourselves from getting hacked.
