 Why would anyone want computer programs
to be emotional?
Imagine a news anchorperson reading in a monotone voice, and you've got some idea of where computer
systems stand today in terms of their presentation of information, they're hopelessly dull and vapid.
People instantly respond with emotion, to emotion. If your stock broker tells you
that he or she is worried that you're about to lose a lot of money, you will react quicker
to that information than if it's presented
as:
IBM International Business Machines Corporation 115.000
-11.78
Therefore, a computer program that tells you it's worried, frustrated, happy, calm, relaxed, will
elicit an immediate and easily understood response.
For better communication, entertainment, interpersonal training, analyzing people's preferences, or
even therapeutic reasons, emotion software is about to make a huge impact in every market!
