Wow, I never thought of this, exactly 10 years ago my Windows 95 computer has 1.2 gigs, today I am barely able to get by with 280 gigs - I'll be buying a 1TB drive soon. That puts me at over 65TB in about 10 years....

Flower Robots For Your Home 119

Posted by timothy on Friday October 17, 2008 @03:00AM from the pretty-high-on-maslow's-hierarchy dept.

Roland Piquepaille writes "Flower robots are not new, and some have already been developed in the US. Now, South Korean researchers have created a robotic plant which acts like real ones. This robot has humidifying, oxygen-producing, aroma-emitting, and kinetic functions. It is about 1.30 meters tall and 40 centimeters in diameter. The robotic plant can interact with people when they approach, and it can 'dance' when music is played. The researchers don't say when a commercial version of their flowers will come to the market. They also don't mention a retail price."
