Why Was I Afraid of Clowns?

I used to be afraid of clowns as a kid because they are simply too noisy, queer-looking and are always performing magic tricks at a party. My fear was further stirred when we watched a scary movie about a clown. It made me scared, and that's one reason why I've never let my parents hire clowns on my parties as a child. I am even afraid of a McDonald's Mascot. People around me used to laugh at my weirdness. I just came over my fear of clowns when I was around 9 or 10 years old, I guess. But now, even until my adulthood, I still feel a little scared. I can say that my fear as a child and the horror movie I’ve watched impacted me a lot.

Robots: Our Virtual Friends in the Future

It may sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, but British researchers are developing software to make robots so smart, they could become friends or even co-workers in the future. Researchers are looking into several scenarios where the robots could be of service. For example, a security robot could notify human security officers when something is wrong, such as a small change in the environment that the human eye would not be able to detect on its own.

Indeed, the dawning of the machines has painstakingly evolved from mere gadgetry items to high-tech smart machines that could capture the needs at home and the workplace. I'm all for working with robots, but robots with a state of feeling or emotion that could befriend us humans? I doubt it. Some humans even find that hard to accomplish.
