Care of mobile devices 


I think it's worth examining what is happening when the user of a smartphone drops and damages the device. The chances are excellent that the user will be in a public place when the damage occurs, other people will very likely see the event, so what is happening here? So glad you asked. The visual stimuli detects an event, the dropping of the phone, the impact of the device and the subsequent damage are usually visible on the device, the device might disconnect from the network making the user less contactable for a while. The investment in money that the user has made has been reduced, the device (as an asset) has been lost to a lesser or great extent. The humans might conclude that the user is a little clumsy or maybe they have been struggling with carrying stuff. Does the user with a broken phone make straight for a phone store, does some kind of emergency mobile phone replacement service appear with flashing lights and a siren, why or why not?

One of the interesting parts of the phone damage and network disconnection is in terms of the virtual world, people who might be expecting messaging and posts might be wondering why they haven't received them and if there is something important happening in their life this could have interesting and significant consequences. So the user has lost something, their shiny new mobile device, the virtual world is less connected to this individual now.

Extending the capabilities of humanoid robots

Humanoid robots are likely to become very useful to human owners as the humanoid robot’s capabilities increase and improve. For example, how about a humanoid robot that can do all your housework, prepare meals, groom your family and any pets, gardening, cleaning windows, fixing stuff, playing ball with little johnny and babysitting whilst you are out at the opera? Once you are the owner of a humanoid robot you will probably become interested in extending the skills of the robot, having some new ones developed or downloaded into the humanoid robot’s memory.  Examples of additional skills might include, high end cooking skills, make up application, mixing drinks, playing musical instruments, creating portrait art paintings, photography, movie creation, playing card games.

Trust in humanoid robots and autonomous vehicles.

I viewed a Google YouTube short of Elon Musk getting his hair cut by an optimus humanoid robot and I thought about how impressive it is to have a skilled robot. Also, after a short discussion with some automotive professionals the topic of trust came up with reference to autonomous vehicles, “would you trust it?” They said. Well I thought that trust can be increased in stages by having the humanoid robot carry out riskier tasks, for example optimus might perform  a perfect straight razor shave  I'm sure Elon and others will be happy to volunteer once the optimus has been perfected. Happy holidays and a super prosperous 2025!
