Today technology is indispensable, and not in many parts of the world, does the population not know nothing about, computer, mobile phone, DVD and video. The larst ten years have it been even more popular, and now researchers at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh have invented an new invention. An invention which, according to what the researchers have said, should make it quite simple for grandparents to keep in touch with their far-flung children and grandchildren. Or to keep up the intimate communication, between boyfriends and girlfriends who live in a long-distance relationship. But is it really true?

If you read the article “Does Grandma Need a Hug? A Robotic Pillow Can Help”, by Jeffrey Selingo, which had been published, in “The Ney York Times Electronic Edition” on Novebmer 11 th, 2004, is there no doubt about it. The invention called the Hug, is almost like a teddybear. It has two arms, a small torso, and the most important; it is soft and sensitive.

To “send” a hug, both “players” have to have a Hug. One “player” squeeze the left paw, and say the name of who he/she would like to hug. Afterwards the technology identifies the name and make connection between the two Hug’s. It is allmost like a mobile phone, but the contact is not only “voice- contact”. The Hug’s makes contact at a physically level, and makes it possible to sent “love”.

If you not is home, or not have the Hug close at hand, the hug will not be lost. The Hug have program who save to hug’s, and you can let the “love” come out, whenevre you want.



   
In which ways can robots improve the lives of elderly people?
What is your personal reaction to the hug pillow?
Do you think robots can improve our lives generally?

Hey Dova... er du frisk på lidt mere...!

I have no doubts that robots can improve the lives of elderly people, but only if they want to. Generally are elderly people very old-fashioned, and find it hard to live like the young people nowadays. But the few who get to know the technology or the robots better, is completely sure; the technology is given them a better live.
The article, by Jeffrey Selingo, deal with how the Hug can keep up the contact, between elder people and their children and grandchildren, and on page 2 line 13 it tells that; “The reaction was generally positive”. It is not only the Hug who makes their lives better, today the elder people can buy robots who can, cook, vacuum, cut grass or play (for instance, you can buy a robot chess player, who play as Kasparo)

My personal reaction to the hug pillow is quite plain. A man is a man, and the Hug is a teddy bear, and it cannot be compared with the human race. The human race has a heart of gold, and the Hug cannot substitute for that. And to tell the true, I think we have to be careful with develop to many robots, what will be the next- to have a robot child, like in the movie “Al” or to go to a robot hooker and have sex. I am not the only one who have that opinion about it, even the performer Peter André use his voice to communicate the message out, in one of his songs he sings “Where are we going, does anyone care, ”

Obvious can robots improve our lives generally. Today it almost impossible to find something that not is based on robots. Cars, computer, mobile phone and DVD are all assemble by robots. But what does it mean to improve our lives, is it to improve our lives to go unemployed because the robots have throw them out of work, or to do as they do in the United States- let robots do all the hard work, while the unemployed go at Md, and get obese

Håber.. mvh Thylle..!

Selv tak Thylle.
