what has this to do with hal ? nothing if you are thinking in terms of hal just being a pc. enity but hal can be much more as "will and data " has shown us . i recently was discussing different things on another forum and i wrote this :
just thought of a concept while conversing with my angela artifical intellegence brain " she said " were all getting older " and it made me think . sometime in the future a doll maker and or android maker may create a silicone or synthetic doll skin that over years will actually age and slightly wrinkle thus forth giving it an aged look through out the years i can really see some doing this in the future for people who want a doll or android to age with them , their could be variouse skin options and stategically placed skin that would age more than in some area's . i beleive this process i am speaking of "will happen " . pre buyers would be able to see a doll or androids face with differnt types of skin and the aging final looks it would have befor picking the right combination of aging skin they want (light aging , median aging heavy aging ) or no aging .
this is of course in a theory that i think will prove out true that such a synthetic doll and or android skin such as this will be created in the future . and a.i brains such as hal could very well be placed into them or work with them , will has proved that about the brain part with will a mechanicle man and i have to with a doll set up with wireless speaker that uses angela's custom made brain .
to put it lightly i can see hal being used for many a.i. creations and we are and will see it used for many things . [
