Robots to help the elderly may be here sooner than you think. In South Korea they are drawing up an ethical charter for Robot Rights, and Japanese Robotics are said to date back over four hundred years:

"Among Japan's oldest robots are the karakuri ningyo, or mechanical dolls. Karakuri ningyo are believed to have originated in China. During the Edo period (1603-1867), Takeda-za developed a mechanical-puppet theater which flourished in Osaka's Dotonbori district."  (Wikipedia: Japanese Robotics)

I love this Lego version of the HR Giger's Alien. Designed by Arvo.

This vintage post titled the Hacker's Manifesto is from wayback in January 1986. It shows inside the mind of a young Hacker called The Mentor, written just after their arrest.  (Pic: Thiravudh Khoman)

But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever take a look behind the eyes of the hacker? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him? I am a hacker, enter my world...
