  • The first thing I did in Linux was to change my wallpaper/ UI and Icon themes.

    Maybe these would be really easy first challenges that a child would look into anyways, to make the system feel like theirs. I remember constantly changing wallpapers when I was a kid. I wonder what I’d had done with the options Linux offered.

    Further down the line I’d explain sudo apt update/ upgrade (or equivalent) to them, so they can do some basic maintenance.




  • I am not sure these will become mainstream soon. I think they will be too expensive and too much of a toy in the beginning. When it comes to daily tasks other robots are better equipped to do these tasks, since they have a higher level of specialization.

    For example roombas. While I can see a humanoid robot vacuuming, a roomba is better equipped for the job, I assume uses less power than a humanoid and vacuum cleaner running at the same time.

    When talking about humanoid robots as social contacts, I’m sure there will be wealthy and lonely people buying them for that purpose.

    Then there’s replacing workers in dangerous jobs like construction, metal production etc. I think it is more sensible to develop and use specialized robots in these fields.
