21 Oct 09 ‘Evil Robot Monkey’ sci-fi short story
‘Evil robot monkey’ is a short science fiction story about a clay modelling chimp. It was written by Mary Kowal and was nominated for a Hugo award in 2009.
Sly scowled and yanked his hands free. “I’m not like the other chimps.” He pointed to the implant in his head. “Maybe Delilah should have one of these. Seems like she needs help thinking.”
You can download this awesome short story for free as a PDF or a mp3 from Mary’s site. Definitely worth the read.

Funktionide Part II from eltopo on Vimeo.
“Based on EAP-technology “Funktionide” is a concept for an emotional robot that substitutes human contact. In a future where technology will play a huge part in our lifes it is very likely that some day it will shift from satisfiying our basic funtional needs to include our emotional needs as well.
How will this future be? How do we want it to be? Will it affect our human interactions if we start to fall in love with machines? Will the machines fall in love with us?”
KILL IT, KILL IT NOW!!!
