In Ethiopia 3.39 million years ago bones were found with consistent stone-inflicted scrapes and cuts that indicated a methodical use of tools to efficiently remove their meat. This would have been made by the Australopithecus afarensis or the Kenyanthropus platyops. This would be one of the most sophisticated tools that were produced for the time. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/08/100811135039.htm

In 1965 the trend of Moore's law describes one of technology's important trends. There seems to be a doubling of the number of electronic components that fit on an integrated circuit. This pattern is also a driver of economic business decisions in the industry that motivates electronics development and computer upgrades.

Clippy- Microsoft's virtual assistant. People did not like Clippy and found it to be more annoying than helpful. The biggest complaint was the obliviousness of the user's "emotional state". It acted like it would give you personal interaction but it was completely useless when it came to the frustration level of the end user. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mrcb5dJjACM

Rosalind Picard- founded Media Lab which combined engineering, computer science with psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, sociology, and education. This was one of the first companies that were attempting to mix emotions with technology and seemed to be "ahead of its time". This approach was very important because of the complexity of emotions and incorporating that into technology.

Galvactivator glove- A video game glove that lights and heats up when a video gamer experiences heightened emotions while playing. This was invented by Picard at MIT and is one of the first of its kind. https://www.media.mit.edu/publications/the-galvactivator-a-glove-that-senses-and-communicates-skin-conductivity-2/

The beginning and popularity of bomb disposal robots. These robots are used for keeping personnel, assets, and civilians out of harm’s way. These are used primarily in Iraq but gained popularity after the 9/11 world trade center attacks. TALON 5 is the first interoperability profile robot system and is the most popular. https://www.qinetiq.com/en-us/capabilities/robotics-and-autonomy/talon-medium-sized-tactical-robot

in 2016 Apple Inc, bought "Emotient" a company that has developed technology that uses Artificial intelligence to read and analyze users' facial expressions and interpret their emotions. This is really useful for advertisers and those of the like when it comes to marketing to viewers and potential clients. Apple buying them as a leader in technology is a game-changer for the technology of the future. https://www.wsj.com/articles/apple-buys-artificial-intelligence-startup-emotient-1452188715

Self-driving cars are coming and I think they will be here soon. With industry leaders like Tesla in the electric car industry, I do not think it is far off for us having cars that drive themselves. With self-driving cars on the horizon people could multi-task while transporting from A to B as well as be safer in the car as human error would not come into play and every driving decision would be calculated by the car itself. I think that traffic and commute times would also go down.

Marrying robots. A few years back there was a movie called "HER" where a man fell in love with a computer entity. As you can imagine this created some long-term problems but I can see this being our future. People creating the "perfect bride" or "groom" where they are the perfect match, have limited health issues, are a good temperament, personality traits, appearance, height, good genes, etc.

Basically, a robot that looks and functions like your dream S.O. Although I do not agree with this idea I can see it becoming our future and how many people would think it would solve a lot of problems for us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJTU48_yghs
