Soft-hearted hardware on the way

Article Abstract:

The affective computing research group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab in Cambridge, MA, has for some time been looking at the possibility of equipping computers with emotions. The group's researchers aim ultimately to create a new generation of computers able to recognize and simulate emotions. Some observers believe that emotions may be the missing element in artificial intelligence, with feelings being a vital element of human intelligence.

Laptop computers have a number of advantages over desktop models, especially in terms of the ease of adding extra features. Latest technology even makes it possible to connect a laptop to a PC without the use of cabling.
