A new Robot from Japan expressed emotion.
The Robot have no emotions, but he can express it.
It looks a little bit strangely but we take the first steps to AI!

as a reference to the scene, where neo gets a probe injected in his belly, there is a so called spider pill.
“The ’spider pill’, which is fitted with a camera, is swallowed by the patient and once within the colon or intestine the legs are opened.”

Der Mensch als lebende Batterie ist nach wissenschaftlicher Meinung nicht möglich, aber es soll in der Zukunft möglich sein Armbanduhren mit Körperwärme zu betreiben.

Wie funktioniert es?

Die Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft hat eine Technik entwickelt, die die benötigte Energie für diese Geräte allein aus menschlicher Körperwärme bezieht. Die elektrische Spannung wird dabei aus dem Unterschied zwischen Körper und Umgebungstemperatur erzeugt.

I suppose they are still not AI driven … but what a nasty thought, if these things would be in command by Google. Analog to the robots in Terminator that were also driven by an artificial intelligence (skynet). When does Google get cybernetic ?!

Zion is a hill outside the walls of Jerusalem. Still Zion often is used as a synecdoche for Jerusalem and the Land of Israel, Promised Land, distant but much wanted goal or even utopia.

In the Matrix Zion is a human-controlled underground city.

Virtual Realities are already highly developed. You can touch things, move about in a room or listen in 3D. The only thing that can not yet be simulated is sensory stimulation. But who know’s how long that will take…
