IT Toolbox

Continuing on with this tasty subject I mentioned last time that as machines run on electricity they don't need to taste things. Something struck my brain cells after that and I remembered.

Making sense of the world, bite me

IT Toolbox

I have just finished a very nice tasting, what is called in English, rice cream or rice pudding. No matter what you call it, it is a very nice, very sweet and mouth-watering taste sensation. Taste sensation is correct because as far as I know, almost all of the animal and insect kingdom has the sense of taste.

Making sense of the world

IT Toolbox

When I was in school I was taught about the five senses, taste, touch, smell, sight and hearing. Later on, I learned that we actually have more than just those five senses and while I don't know exactly how much (I did read about it but I'm old and forget what I have for breakfast anyway), it is a fair number. We need those senses to make (heh) sense of the world we live in.

Manage Time, Manage Creativity

IT Toolbox

Earlier this year I started writing a novel - I even published drafts of the first few chapters on this blog. The net of it was that it demanded a much larger contribution of words than I normally write. This was a real problem because initially, I didn't do anything to make a proportional adjustment in the time I was giving to the activity. Creativity takes time.

In my previous ranting, I implied that robots, or active technology should I say, currently has no sense of touch. That is not exactly true. Even industrial robots like the famed Kuka brand have the ability to feel things. As far as I know, this ability is inherent in the design of any robot. How this works is quite simply via feedback.

Making sense of the world, hear here

IT Toolbox

Sorry, I couldn't help myself with the title. I must be in a punny mood today. We are all born with ears and most of the time they work. Actually, they always work in that they direct sound to our sensory inputs which convert pressure waves to electrical signals. Sometimes those sensory inputs don't work and also tend to degrade with time.

Just the addition of two words made this title even punnier :). Seriously though, no more puns, I hope, but no promises.

There is much more to the subject of hearing than what it sounds like.
