    oppressed society by controlling almost every aspect of their lives, such as their jobs and even the types of foods they are allowed.

    It is obvious that the Turing test can be applied to computers from the arguments that he gave in response to the objections given in Computing Machinery and Intelligence. I will show that slight changes to these arguments can still allow passing, and will specifically demonstrate that these modified arguments support passing for cats and dogs.

    To find out whether a computer can not only hold vast amounts of data, but to be able to assess that data quickly, Jeopardy is a logical way to test it. The reason Jeopardy makes sense as a test platform is because the average contestant on Jeopardy has such a complex understanding of different subjects, viewers have often compared them to computers. Eugene Finerman told the Wall Street Journal (1990) that he had to scan over at least 200 issues of Time magazine to feel like he could answer a good
