Well, I have plodded through Discovery and stumbled through Stumble Upon and finally came upon Search Bots. Having decided that I do not possess a creative bone in my body and feeling somewhat deflated by this news, I was heartened to hear about Search Bots. It has a degree of creativity about it - much talk in the tutorial was made of Moods and Emotions, but the idea of turning my little robot a reddish hue and getting back information about Communism or Tomatoes indicated to me that a great deal of specific information would need to be added if I required useful information for a particular scenario that I had in mind. It's a mind-blowing concept (to me) that all this information can be extrapolated from numerous search engines that I hadn't even heard of before. I will try and have some fun creating my little robot and then attempt to find it a specific scenario to work on. I also liked the idea that your little robot needed 'nurturing'... previous attempts at tender ministrations to plants have proved to me that they flourish best when I leave them well alone. I wonder if I might be more successful in a more artificial environment?
My first stab at creativity is to christen my little robot - I'm going to call him Cedric.

Cedric..love it!
ReplyDeleteYes I like creating characters/robots as well, but I soon get bored with them so they eventually fade away. I can see how kids would like to use something like these though :)
