En el mundo de la robótica y la animación computerizada existe una hipótesis llamada Teoría del Valle inquietante que fue formulada en origen por el experto japonés en robótica Masahiro Mori, y después combinada con el concepto de lo inquietante desarrollado por Freud en un ensayo de 1919.

En esencia, la hipótesis asegura que cuanto más real y humana es la apariencia de un ser artificial, más empatía genera en los seres humanos reales pero que hay un punto a partir del cual, si el realismo del autómata (sea un robot o un render) es excesivo, la empatía cae en picado generando rechazo agudo en el observador humano. A este descenso brusco en la empatía que generan los seres artificiales se le denomina Valle inquietante o valle inexplicable (Uncanny Valley en inglés

I am over laptops and the posture that comes with them. I am coding a lot less, so I use my computers a lot less. I still want to simplify even further and carry just one device. So, I want to try the iPad Mini with cellular antenna as my only device and as a phone replacement, and use Skype and/or Google Voice instead.

What we believe in.

Actually, to further expand on my point, one of the main goals of the views I try to put forth on this site is to ask people to consider their needs closely and choose only the tools that best fit those needs. This extends to when those needs naturally adjust and change over time. It seems to me that David is taking such an inventory and making adjustments accordingly. Much respect for that.
