The "Uncanny Droid" video was personally a bit nerve-recking. It took me a second to catch on that that person was really a robot. The way that the robot could move it's facial features is amazing and so life like. It is very weird to think that in the near future there will be robots walking among us humans. Or hey, they might be walking on this earth now and we just can't tell the difference. I wonder once this happens, if scientists are going to find a way that humans can tell if it is a robot or not. I know it kind of defeats the purpose, but I think I would like to know if my best friend or boyfriend was a human or not.
To be honest, I cannot believe that the person who created this "how to" video. I mean if YouTube was around when the pencil and pencil sharpener came out, then I would understand because it's new to people. But the pencil and sharpener have been around long enough that I would think everyone knows how to use them. And quite frankly, I don't even remember the last time I saw someone using a manual sharpener. All throughout high school we had electric sharpeners. Oh, and the occasional manual one stuck to the wall, but I don't think anyone ever used that one unless there was something wrong with the other one. I find it funny because if I find this video ridiculous now, what will people in 60 years, or even 20? People then might find it ridiculous that we have "how to" videos about how to use an iPhone, or blackberry. Technology is an amazing thing and I find it fascinating how fast it moves.
