iCub, The guitar player ~
The
2 year old Android boy iCub has learned quite a bit of music, and can
now even compose some electronic rhythms. The scientists in Barcelona
has been trying to equip him with the minimum conscientiousness and
social abilities. An automaton that has the stature of a 3 year old
and lives in the Campus of the University Pompeu Fabra (UPF) in
Barcelona. He learns and progresses fast can now ask and answer some
questions, including playing guitar.
Never mind playing guitar, I would like one that would do all my housework! When would the scientists realize that there are more important and urgent tasks that are really helpful to people?
All right, maybe not people in general, but to MoiMoii definitely. I just loathe housework!!!
The long journey of the Lone Penguin ~
Icon
of the icy continent, is the penguin that appears in the photo below,
making the necessary long & solitary journey on the slabs of ice in
Antarctic. They simply have to do these more & more exhausting long
& difficulty journeys of 50 kilometres or more, in search for
food.
Looking at the photo, doesn't it make you feel how small & insignificant life is, yours, mine, and that of all living creatures? And how solitary we all must confront it as nobody else can live your life; in a way, we are all on our own, even when you have caring family and countless friends
