Fifth Gen project, prolog etc. - Didn't change much

Expert systems were the rage for medicine back in the 90s? Don't see doctors out of work..

IBM Watson passed the bar in UK and was hired as a 'lawyer' - Don't see lawyers going away...

Edit: oh - and lets not forget, we were all supposed to be programming in ADA now. It was going to 'take over' the world, first in DoD... then spreading to general usage. Can't remember the last time I saw an ADA job ?
