The demonstration of Tesla's robot "Tesla Bot" indicates the "truth" related to the announcement of new technology.

Anyone who has visited the world's largest home appliance trade fair, CES, which will be held in Rasvegas, will understand enough.It looks like it works well, such as wind -up display, intelligent external skeleton, cleaning robot, and autonomous vehicles.However, most of them are not sold and are not realistic.

In 2016, the Magic Repu, which develops expansion reality (AR) technology, published a video image in 2016 that a virtual whale splashed on the floor of the gymnasium, and children on the stand cheered.This was also apparent.

In the past, Samsung once shown a photo taken with a digital single -lens reflex camera, called a "smartphone camera" demonstration.Apple's demonstrations have rarely found artificial places, such as proposing a lifestyle that can only be maintained by only a few people in the world, and promising seamless cooperation between gadgets.However, the demonstration when the iPhone was performed for the first time was completely "making".

And it is Tesla's electric pickup truck "Cybertruck", which was unveiled in November 2009.The first demo was stunning, but the release time was postponed to 2022.

"Great future" sold by tech companies

Of course, some of these products are actually released.Aside from the year of the new colon virus pandemic (global trend) and the world of global chips, it is released every year.However, it is not that kind of product that tech companies sell in demonstrations.It's the same as a friend doesn't say, "I'm an accurate person in time."

These tech companies are selling a "great future".Perhaps it may be a bridge -like entity to cross the so -called "eerie valley".Tech companies sell things that deepen our humanity under the name of technology.However, it is a story if you accept the singing complaint.

Even so, I wish that joke was communicated.The demonstration of the dancing robot was not "real", but someday it will be "real".The human in the robot was "real", but it may be that the day will not be "real".
