I found this article on WIRED News today. In the beginning, it seemed funny, a Democratic candidate blogging his way into visibility with the public. As the article went further, it tried to explain that the sharing of ideas over the internet, such as in a Blog is really effective, no only for sharing little ideas, but to also warn of possible threats to our society as a whole. This politician, Gary Hart, supposedly warned of Sept. 11th before it happened...
Take a look and let me know what you think.
At least this is one reason why Blogging is effective. Right?
As I have said before, I am really interested in building prototypical robots that exhibit telepresent features. Research as to whether these robots are feasible and possible comes from several sources, but I was really interested in one article from Wired News about a robot called Wakamaru. Basically it is a robot that not only assists people in their homes, but it also allows family members to check up on their loved ones and "virtually" visit them through the robot. If interested, check it out here.
I was talking today about my interests in Telepresence and Robotics. Below are some links regarding my progression:
