WatchIT.com, the leading producer of expert briefings for IT and business professionals, has won a 2002 Telly Award for the program,
"Computer Intelligence: A Brave New World."
This award is the second Telly for WatchIT; the company had previously won in 2001 for the program "Java 2001: Serve It Up."
"Outstanding video production is the core of the rich media experience we give our customers," said Jim Fallon, WatchIT's Senior Vice President, Production. "It's very gratifying to be recognized for outstanding video production, especially for a program as forward-looking as Computer Intelligence."
The award-winning program features three technology experts -- James Martin, John Walker, and Alex Hauptmann -- as they discuss types of computer intelligence and its place in the business world now and in the future. Martin, WatchIT's chairman, is a Pulitzer Prize nominee and author of more than 100 books, including the recent After the Internet: Alien Intelligence. In the program he talks about alien intelligence, which he defines as processes executed on a computer that are so complex that a human can neither follow the logic step-by-step nor come to the same results by other means. Martin then gives examples of companies that are successfully using alien intelligence.
Walker, professor of Accounting and Information Systems at Queens College, New York, discusses neural networks, expert systems, and other types of computer intelligence. Also, Hauptmann, senior systems scientist in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, describes how voice speech and multimedia technology can be integrated into our daily interaction with computers.
"This award represents the high production and content quality standards that WatchIT is able to obtain. Showcasing a difficult subject like computer intelligence is not easy; our clients value our ability to package complex content in an easy to understand and engaging format," remarked Alan Rand, president and CEO at WatchIT.
The Telly Awards were founded in 1980 to showcase and give recognition to outstanding non-network and cable commercials. The Telly is one of the most sought-after awards in the TV, commercial and video industry.
