Response to the Kidd, Hickey and Weschler “Uncanny Valley” articles

Response to Kidd: The author talks about the question of "true or false" by listing the example of "enemy". The author talks about Left or Right later in the article. I am actually not sure what author is talking about by only reading the single chapter, but I feel like two men in the article are talking about their attitudes. Each specific attitude makes a specific life.
Response to Hickey: the author talks about the exciting and fair basketball starting with a game between Lakers and Seventy-Sixers in 1980. He then talks about how amazing and exciting this game could be and tells us the history of basketball. He finalizes the article with five guiding principle of basketball made by James Naismith in 1891. I really enjoy author portraying the basketball game at the beginning of the article. I was attracted to the article first time I read that.

I feel like that the ending of this article is really difficult. The author uses five guiding principles to end the article. Actually I am not sure with what he suppose to sending to readers by these five principles. I perfer the author point out his attitude at the end of the article so that I won't misunderstand his message.

Response to Wsechler "Uncanny": The author introduces to us how complex smile could be by listing the difficulty of making a digital human face. Later the author further talks about the reaction of eyebrows, ears and nose when emotions are expressed by face. In the end of the article, the author asks if a absolutely human character is possible to make and send his confidence about this to the readers.

This article express his attitude clearly and I don't think I feel something difficult with it.
