What To Do?

What to do is the question Mark Zuckerberg, creator of social giant Facebook, is asking himself. If he were to make the decision to sell the 2nd most popular social-networking website, he could become the next rich-kid of Silicon Valley. The struggle that Zuckerberg is facing is the fact that he would rather build the website and better his creation, instead of sell it, even though it is worth around 1 Billion dollars. If it were my company and I truly loved facebook and what I had created, I would stick with it, because I bet the offer would only get bigger, and when the price was right, I would sell, but until then…I would continue to do my thing.

The Japanese and Thier Robots

According to CNN.com, the Japanese have made an important step in the creation of their most recent robots. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have taken an important step, they have programmed one of their robots with camera eyes, to pour tea and serve it. What they went off about was the fact that the Japanese say that it won’t matter if you say thank you or not because the robot is serving the tea, and not a human. This is a big step, not only for the Japanese, but for robot builders around the world. I personally feel that in the not so far off future, we will have robots doing a lot of the daily tasks that we currently do now, but do not enjoy. Nice work Japanese!
