Is that bench laughing?
It could be!
The BBC reported that a Cambridge art venue, The Junction, now boasts trash bins and benches that have actual personalities. They can giggle, make noises, move and apparently form relationships with eachother.
The article states that the technology is interactive and that the furniture responds to the needs of the public and to other changes (such as the weather). Though, I can't help thinking that, if they truly develop personalities, could they instead play games on people? Will a bench find it funny to move as a person starts to sit down, resulting in that person falling to the ground?
I'm not sure if this is funny, disturbing, interesting, etc....
