Isaac Asimov First Law Scale (LOLZ)
By admin | March 17, 2008
Designer Alice Wang has created Asimov’s First Law, a range of weighing scales.The collection explores whether we are being psychologically harmed by the simple gadgets that surround us.
Asimov’s First Law
“A robot may not harm a human being.”
The first law of robotics by Isaac Asimov.
Artificial intelligence is a topic widely used in the media, however, exactly how far are we from such technology? Are these fears towards robotic developments necessary or purely irrational? What is it about these currently fictional characters that scare us? Are there existing domestic objects that already break this law?
The Asimov’s First Law line of scales include 3 different options: White Lies, Half Truth and Open Secrets, each one with its own special characteristics.
WHITE LIES
Scales, although don’t perform physical harm, have been subtly damaging us psychologically. Some are deeply hurt by their bluntness; some choose to cheat.
This scale allows one to lie to him/herself.
The further back you stand, the lighter you become.
The user can gradually move closer and closer to reality.
HALF-TRUTH
This scale puts your partner responsible for deciding whether to lie or hit you with the truth. Suitable for cohabiting partners.
OPEN SECRET
This scale reveals your weight every time you weigh yourself by sending a text message to the desired mobile phone. The receiver is then responsible to reveal the answer immediately or the next time you two meet. Suitable for pre-cohabiting couples.
OK, this is not very shocking, but there you have some odd bizarre people out there.
