Alt text: In the 60s, Marvin Minsky assigned a couple of undergrads to spend the summer programming a computer to use a camera to identify objects in a scene. He figured they'd have the problem solved by the end of the summer. Half a century later, we're still working on it.

Edit: seems I'm the third person to comment this! :')

This page about it still exists, but I guess the identification site died with Flickr.
