Person of Interest is a TV show about a machine that absorbs all information from every type of source (CCTV, Internet, TV, Radio, Phones, etc) and from this data, finds plots to kill people, or commit terror, etc. See the Wikipedia for the show here [1], and the trailer here [2].
What I'm wondering, is if we have reached a point where this is technically possible and maybe feasible.
What kind of technology would you think is necessary, existing and non-existing, to build a machine of this type.
