With no readings or specified posts for this week, I thought I'd share a quick video of ASIMO. ASIMO is a learning robot in continuing development from Honda.
I love the kind of thinking that looks at human evolution as an interconnected relationship between the human and non-human world (instead of "filling a niche" thinking). The idea that any technology becomes an extension of who we are and we become an extension of technology is really fascinating... oneof the folks I'm really interested in as a thinker is J. J. Gibson and the early work he did thinking about environmental contraints and affordances... Thanks for a thought provoking and fun video!
