Robotiquette

Robots learn how to behave socially ... robotiquette. That's something. A lot of people never learn how to behave socially. But it's smart socially. For example Victor, the scrabble robot, he isn't that good in playing scrabble. Why? If he always wins regular people don't want to play with him anymore. And ... he talks trash. It seems that regular people like that. Robots want to be wanted. My favorite? Brad the toaster ofcourse. An addicted product.

This article is certainly worth reading.
