In the Uncanny Droid there is a robot that at first and most likely second glance looks just like a real human being. It moves just like the man at the computer in every way. The creepiest thing that I noticed that It did was move it's eyes very fast just like the man. This was scary to me because that is a very fine motor skill to be able to pull off, which means that this robot was very advanced. I did not know that we have came this far in robotics. We know can make a robot look just like a real person and move almost the exact same. The only reason that I saw that it wasn't a real girl was the way it moved and everything, and there was no expressions on its face which made it look different. One day there will be a robot that you will be unable to tell if it is a human or a robot and I think that that day is coming soon.
In the second video it was a man showing us how to use a pencil sharpener, which I found very funny. This is a how-to video for a very simple task, and a pencil sharpener is barely even concidered “technology” anymore because it is so basic. I believe that this shows how society is though, I mean several decades ago if someone would have shown you a pencil sharpener you would have been astounded but now you do not even give it a second look. As technology advances the old technology becomes less important and less interesting. This is something that will happen no matter what, and has always happened.
