THE ADORABLE LITTLE ROBOTS
James Meadows • October 18, 2016
Are robots turning into people or are people turning into robots? When does a robot stop being an SKU and become a person? These are questions that we are still trying to answer.
In 2017, a small robot, Kirobo Mini, goes on sale in Japan. You can have this little passenger who sits in a cup holder in your car for just under $400 and just under $3 per month subscription fee. The little computerized critter will make light conversation, tell jokes, and endear itself to your family. The crowd in Japan is going for it.
As robots take on increasingly complex functions throughout our society, the question persists, when will they replace people? From what the ads are showing in Japan, we might be getting close.

My transparent reflection about my five-year post-layoff experience, how I navigated it, learned through it, and identified some wisdom that might inspire others.
The earliest days of this series present fundamentally significant leadership content.
We explore the overuse or inappropriate use of the words "honest," "honesty," and "honestly." Much of the overuse or inappropriate use of these words is in contexts that intrinsically message the audience that the speaker is not trustworthy. I call the overuse or inappropriate use of these words in this context HONESTY VALIDATORS because the speaker believes they validate the truth being spoken. We need a solution to this problem. My solution is to replace these honesty validators with CLARITY VALIDATORS. Instead of trying to be honest, try to be clear. Replacing "honest," "honesty," and "honestly," with "clear," "clarity," and "clearly," produces significantly more benefit to the speaker and to the audience.
