how-old.net : how curios are you about your age?

How old net


Currently there is trend about guess  the age of someone by website. This  Microsoft website is trying to guess your age by picture that uploaded to their web.

Website called how-old is only the way it works. After visiting the site, accessor asked to upload a picture of yourself or anyone else who wants to guess how old he is, and also gender. In a time fast enough, the results straight out.

If the age estimation that appeared older than they really are, no need to be disappointed. The access can try again with a different photo and possibility, the result would be different.

"Sorry if we have not been very precise in guessing the sex and age. We are still developing this feature," the statement on the website.

Many people are busy to try and then share the results on social networks. According to Microsoft, the system in this website analyze 27 points on someone's face. For instance pupils or nose change as you age.
My friend also try this web and said his age is 39 although his actual age is  21. I think this web is just for fun since they still cannot make 100 percent decided the age and the sex and lately this  trend come in to our social media and give us some entertainment.

"The sign is predicted using statistical algorithms, and may not be 100% accurate," Microsoft added. Indeed, for the moment, the website was apparently just for the fun just because of its accuracy could be said not maximized.


You should try it too for fun. Sometime you get the different result based on picture. I mean when you give your “best” picture the result will give you the younger age and reverse. You can access it in how-old.net. try it

Difference between Robot and Machine



Do you know the difference between robot and machine? Do you think it’s the same thing right? But, I will give you the truth. Robot is the word from Czech which means workers or laborers that don’t know what tired is. The robot is a mechanical device that can perform physical tasks using the surveillance and control of man, or use a program that has been defined first (artificial intelligence). Nowadays hardly anyone who is not familiar with the robot, but the sense of the robot is not understood the same way by everyone. Most imagine a robot is a human clone machine (humanoid), however not the only humanoid robots.

Obtained from the Oxford dictionary definition of the robot are:
A machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one programmed by a computer.

The shape of the robot was first created around the 12th century, when it was first discovered robotics system named Ibnu Ismail Al Jazari, born in Al Jazira, exactly between the Tigris River and Efrat  Rivers. His full name Badi al-Zaman Abullezz Ibnu al-Jazari Alrazz. He lived in Diyar Bakir, Turkey. Here is the picture of first robot

First robot by  Ibnu Ismail Al Jazari

Now, I will give you what is machine means. Machine is a mechanical or electrical appliance that send or change the energy to perform or assist in the implementation of human tasks. Typically requires an input as a trigger, sending the energy that has been converted into an output, which perform tasks that have been set.
Now, do you see the difference between Robot and Machine right? Still no? Ok, I will summarize it for you. So, Robot is machine that have artificial intelligence but the machine don’t have artificial intelligence. Do you need the example for see the difference right? Ok, I will say Watch is machine that will show us the time and i think all of you know Wall-E, Gundam, etc right?  Those are robot.
