Innocent Robots Curb Our Anger
If you recall, I blogged about my new Turtle God which just so happens to be Toshiba's latest universal remote control robot. Those big doe eyes and cute disposition has a purpose. We have a tendency to lash out when things don't go our way, like flinging a remote across the room when it doesn't work, or smacking a cable box when it won't... um, cable. Toshiba hopes by making their robots as innocent as Bambi, we'll think twice about smacking it when it refuses to change channels.
