We all know Sherlock. He is the "greatest detective of all time", after all. His actions fill countless books and movies. Most people regard him as a static character because he never changes at the end of a story; it seems that only the people he helps and the cases he solves are changed. But is this really true? Let’s take our magnifying glasses out and take a look, shall we? (*crying* Sherlock, I hope you are proud of me.)   First, let us look at his intrapersonal relations (i.e. the relationship he has with himself). Sherlock appears to be very comfortable in his own skin. He can usually detect whether he is happy or not, and displays quite a strong self-awareness. For example, let us take his hobby: listening to music. He listens to music solely when he feels stuck on a particular case or when he needs to have a break from his detective work.  Furthermore, his motivation for solving cases comes from the thrill of the process, and this might explain why he only takes ...

Montegrappa should allow different engineers and designers around the world to submit their ideas of pen designs. If Montegrappa likes one of them, the designer will be ca...

Over the centuries, many people, thinkers, and cyber-experts have tried to come up with laws that guard the ethical use of technology, robots, and A.I. A vast array of perspectives have been discussed, with some people believing that we humans come first and others claiming that robots should look after themselves. What is truly right can only be known through future testing, but there is something we can do now and that is to come up with a document that lists ALL the aspects of technology ethics (or at least tries to).   This is why, like Isaac Asimov (the science-fiction author whose laws of robotics are the most popular), I try to come up with some laws that I think are needed for a safe world. (Trumpets start to be blown, and there is a huge commotion in the hall.) I present to thee, the Carta Artificialis!   The Carta Arftificialis   I.                    Any A.I te...
