Have any of you tried Wolfram Alpha yet? What do you think?

I think it's a great idea. Their goal is to boil all the world's information down into a simple question and answer format. It reminds me of the computer in Star Trek, where all you have to do is ask it a question and it gives you the answer.

I've tried it a few times, and as you'd expect, it's hit and miss. The answers that it knows, it's incredibly helpful on. It can give you statistics, historical facts and figures, and provide charts and graphs.

The questions that it doesn't know, it just gives you a blank screen, basically. Doesn't offer much help on where you can get the answer. I'm expecting it to get a lot better in the coming years, and it's great to see.

I like their idea, and I hope it gets implemented well.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
