Wow is the only word that comes to mind after viewing the Uncanny Droid video. I think its kind of scary that people have come up with the new technology to make these robots, and even further are able to control them with their own motions. What fascinated me most about the robot was its ability to move its eyes so fast and able to blink at the same rate that a human can. Its scary to think that someday in the next decade or so this could become a very common thing to see. Who knows someday we could have robots like this walking among us, and not even knowing they were there. At first glance i did not notice that this was even a robot because it looks so much like a real person. The first thing that drew me to the conclusion that it was a robot was the fact that at many times it had no expression on its face which is something that humans always have.
In the Old School? or What? video I found myself overlooking the fact that the pencil sharpener is technology as well. It's just something that we seem to overlook in todays society as something that we really need. To be honest if this was a video that just popped up and i started to watch i would have turned it off immediately because its like common sense to us today how to us a pencil sharpener. Although back when this technology was new many people would not have had a clue how to use it, so i feel like this was kind of a realization for me about how far we have come in our society. From pencil sharpeners to robots that move and look like human beings, amazing!
