Tamagotchi Effect - Future Outlook

Future Outlook

Based on current evidence and rapid evolution of technology, there is a strong indication that the future will hold a place for these technological, lifelike entities. What will people one day do with a robotic cat or household butler who can react with yours as well as have affective states of their own? How will this change how society views human qualities and development? These human to machine relationships may one day come to be methodically equivalent to relationships between living things.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or outlook:

    If the children and youth of a nation are afforded opportunity to develop their capacities to the fullest, if they are given the knowledge to understand the world and the wisdom to change it, then the prospects for the future are bright. In contrast, a society which neglects its children, however well it may function in other respects, risks eventual disorganization and demise.
    Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)

    Even in ordinary speech we call a person unreasonable whose outlook is narrow, who is conscious of one thing only at a time, and who is consequently the prey of his own caprice, whilst we describe a person as reasonable whose outlook is comprehensive, who is capable of looking at more than one side of a question and of grasping a number of details as parts of a whole.
    G. Dawes Hicks (1862–1941)
