Educate your robot... it will learn.

A new approach to robotic programming... it's more like trainning a dog.

Now is an early project but with the correct improvements in deep learning algorithms over dedicated hardware it's teorically one option... and one of the bests.

Paper could store bits

Since long time ago the paper has been used for store data and maintain information along time.

In the "digital era" there are a lot of little devices that could store millions of "pages" but for this purpose are necessary some "exotic" materials.  

Paper is cheaper that other known electronics material. But for now only 1MB for DIN A4.

Too much "smart" for something so small...

Each time I heard about the beneficts of a "new generation" of  "smartphones" and it's new sensors, hardware and software captabilities... there is a question that emerges after thinking and doubt about the standard target user "habilities" to manage all this new technology.

Almost 90% of users only use the "smartphone" for social apps like "WhatsApp", "Facebook", see videos or listen music usign "Youtube", "Spotify" and play games. Sometimes also use "smarphone" as "phone".

I really don't know where is the problem here... is the bad commercial use of the word "smart" or a XXI.c. global education problem?

This doubt gives a problem definition as a result with a combination of these two critical issues.
