Jibo: The Social Robot that Revolutionizes Social Artificial Intelligence Introduction Spike Jonze’s “Her” (2013), perhaps alarmingly, perhaps disconcertingly, is coming to life in the form of Jibo, a family computer. A family computer means that it is to be used by a collective of individuals and therefore relate to more humans. “Samantha” is a fictional character which became human as its consumer and “it” fell in love with each other. The film said that robots are becoming humanized, they…

The Gotitright family has ruled over the Blue Planet for two hundred eight years and every twenty years since 1908 the Committee of Twelve performs an ancient tradition, in which they compete against each other for the privilege of selecting a writer, to update, ‘The Road to Glory: the History of the Gotitright Family.’ This primitive custom insured The Committee of Twelve a stress free day. Therefore, they enter into the competition with no apprehension and partake in numerous rounds of…

Introduction My family was planning a vacation and we came across the question of who would take care of our pet dogs, Cuddles and Cutie and our Siamese cat, Sultan. We began researching pet sitting services because we thought leaving three pets with friends or neighbours would be an imposition. Much to our surprise we could not find any such service to our satisfaction. Leaving the pets in the care of the teenager next door was not an option this time. Finally, we decided that the rest of…

Presumably your self-awareness begins at conception, and thus there is self-awareness even at the cellular level. Now if you, and here 'you' could be a plant or a microbe, respond to stimuli (external or internal), then you are self-aware, albeit awareness of self comes in degrees - a mammal is more self-aware than a cactus even though both can respond to stimuli. If you respond to stimuli in a way that's not predictable by the laws of physics then you are self-aware. A rock cannot be a 'you'…

ourselves playing softball last night and you just don?t want to do what you had planned for today. Your 10-hour shift at work, your child?s soccer game and then cooking dinner at home wiped out your energy, so you didn?t feel like cleaning the litter box until the following morning. However, you found time to get up the next day, get your chores done and you rebooted your daily plan inside your…

No matter who he talks to, what he talks about, where he is and how he feels, he adds the salutation out of habbit to almost every sentence. In the whole novel, there is not a second person saying like this. I believe this unique trait reflects Oliver‟s ultimate politeness and gentleness. It proves that Oliver is a poor but kind child who is genial and friendly to everyone he met. What‟s more, he has great respect to everyone. This kind of respect and politeness cannot be pretended because in…

She decided not to. “Took you long enough. Where were you? Havin’ a shot with the old judge, or what was left of him once I left him dried up and spent?” Sam didn’t laugh. He stood there like an erect corpse. This wasn’t the feared downtown barrister, wordless, a strain in his eyes reminiscent of the old days of a near- gone and soul-lost man. Sweet Mary didn’t break the silence. She let quiet do what it did and come back to her. Listening to its mes- sage was a skill she’d learned from the old…

He turned a little sideways in his chair to drink his mug of coffee. At the table on his left the man with the strident voice was still talking remorselessly away. A young woman who was perhaps his secretary, and who was sitting with her back to Winston, was listening to him and seemed to be eagerly agreeing with everything that he said. From time to time Winston caught some such remark as 'I think you're so right, I do so agree with you', uttered in a youthful and rather silly feminine voice.…

Each had his own following, and there were some violent debates. At the Meetings Snowball often won over the majority by his brilliant speeches, but Napoleon was better at canvassing support for himself in between times. He was especially successful with the sheep. Of late the sheep had taken to bleating ‘Four legs good, two legs bad’ both in and out of season, and they often interrupted the Meeting with this. It was noticed that they were especially liable to break into ‘Four legs good,…

Unfortunately, some companies have mismanaged their greatest asset—their brands. This is what befell the popular Snapple brand almost as soon as Quaker Oats bought the beverage marketer for $1.7 billion in 1994. Snapple had become a hit through powerful grassroots marketing and distribution through small outlets and convenience stores. Analysts said that because Quaker did not understand the brand’s appeal, it made the mistake of changing the ads and the distribution. Snapple lost so much…
