I came to the same conclusion. Looks good but doesn’t deliver anything new.

I have been plagued by variations of the same 2 messages for the last week. It has gotten to the point where I have had to turn off notifications as my email account was getting deluged by them :(

It looks beautiful, it makes me want to explore it and understand it. The visual representations help me with identifying the patterns that you have identified.
The coaching circles are intriguing – I get the impression that they have been very successful – can you see any downside to them? Has anyone expressed any dissatisfaction? Does the self-organisation work, or do learners naturally gravitate towards others with similar views and experiences?

The image of the robot cuddling up to a human in All About Robots (http://ift.tt/1CpybWM) gives me the same shudder even though the appearance is very robotlike.
And it’s not just robots that set off the reaction. The ear in the petri dish is just as bad (http://ift.tt/166l66T).
As robots become more prevalent do you imagine that humans will lose this reaction towards them? If we don’t, how could this affect their future development?

Some of them really make me shudder though. The childlike one in particular. For me, this falls below the line of the ‘uncanny valley’ (http://ift.tt/f36xSY). What do you think? Do any of them make you feel uncomfortable? Which ones?
