Abstract

Cognitive computing is a combination of cognitive science and computer science. Cognitive science is study of the human brain and its functionality whereas computer science seems to have severe impacts in our personal lives, healthcare, etc. Use of massive unstructured data in past few years have led to invention of cognitive systems. Programmable computers focused on fast calculations of large amounts of data whereas cognitive systems are intended towards exploring data, finding new correlations, and context in data in order to come up with new solutions. The goal of cognitive computing is to increase boundaries of human perception instead of replacing the way human thinks. A new industrial revolution in the form of cognitive computing is responsible for job automation healthcare, transportation, home automation, and many more. This chapter includes a brief history of cognitive computing and also the eras of computing in order to understand the growth of cognitive computing in future and also the applications based on cognitive technology.
