Between the two videos, I found the first one the most interesting. At first, I thought the person was just in a daze and like bobbing back and forth or something. It took me a while to realize it was a robot; it took me until the robot started talking to realize this. I found it very intriguing that a robot could be that humanistic; it could definitely be mistaken for a human if it just did not talk. It is very interesting to me that robots are being made like this today, and makes me wonder if shortly there will be robots like this used in every day life. I am actually pretty sure they will become used more often, but to what extent and for what exactly.
And for the second video, I was bored and had to ask myself why someone would make a video about that. For one, so many people use mechanical pencils today, and for two, who does not know how to sharpen a pencil, but better yet, who would get online and look for a video on how to do this? Also, along with people using mechanical pencils, if someone does use a pencil like this one, they would sharpen it with an electric sharpener. But I guess this object has developed and become better too like every other form of technology. So, in a way, this is an example of technology and how it is advancing.
It was pretty scary how realistic the robot was! I also thought the robot was a human when I first looked at the video. There was no description of what was going on, so it took awhile to figure out what this woman/robot was doing.
