THE INVENTOR

Ever wondered how many Inventors there are in the WORLD!!!.If yes there are actually 1,500 Inventors who make all type of Inventions like from the simple light bulb to the complicated computer. Inventions are very tricky even the light bulb that Thomas Edison Invented was tricky because back in the 1870's there was no electricity so it took him a lot of planning to create the light bulb,he used fire to help him make the light bulb.he got the idea from the eclipse and thought to himself that Earth needed light,so he worked literally every day and every night to create the light bulb and soon when it was created it was a big success to the world.

I found a ball!' said the robot,advancing across the indoor golfing green with putter in hand.He squinted to work out the distance to the hole,adjusted his stance and took a practice swing.It sounds like science fiction,but the QRIO (which stands for Quest and cuRIOsity,and is pronounced curio) is real,and requires no human input to sink a birdie.His digital-camera eyes find the ball,and his computer-chip brain sizes up the shot and makes all the decisions.Unfortunately,the next thing QRIO did was to wander away from both the ball and hole to stomp around in circles waving his golf club."Perhaps we'll move on to some of his other skills," said his handler nervously.It was a shaky start to the 2ft 'droid's UK debut.QRIO, made by Sony, is one of the world's most advanced robots.Sony hasn't revealed how much he would cost to buy, although estimates are in order of $50,000.In any case, QRIOs are not for sale.Only a few dozen examples have been made, and they are currently being used as Sony mascots, showing off the company's technoligical prowess.Others are imprisoned inside Sony labs,learning new skills,such as tennis.QRIO can walk up stairs, pick up and throw a ball,and run and jump he even picks himself up when he falls over.He is also, as the next two QRIOs insisted on demonstating, a mean dancer."We are QRIO! We dance together!" they sang, bodypopping to eighties synth-pop, while their eyes flashed green in what was a sign of friendliness. This is a comfort, as a QRIO can take a dislike to people. It's eyes can recognise faces, and if it feels it's been wronged-by being knocked over, say, or just ignored-it will bear a grudge. Sony has trouble with QRIOs refusing to dance at shows in Japan because they were in a sulk with their handlers.In fact,by nature,he's very friendly.When the handler clapped his hands ,one QRIO turned towards him, moving his head like a cat who's heard a suspicious noise.His eyes flashed quizzically.In Japan, QRIO has a vocabulary of 20,000 words and can hold conversations with several people at once.In Britain, apart from a few pre-programed phrases,he's only slightly more communicative than a Furby.However,Sony is working on a version that can speak English, and hopefully, a speaking QRIO will be touring UK soon.Perhaps by that time the programmers will also have fine-tuned his golfing skills...
