Interesting facts:
Did you know that Japan has the best technology in the world? Most of the electronic systems we use today are made by Japan like laptops. Some of the Japanese companies are Nintendo, Sony, Honda, Toshiba, Sega, Sanyo, Sharp, and Suzuki. But not all of the good technology in the world are Japanese. Like Microsoft. That company is a huge company, but it was made by Bill Gates and he is American.

Japan as some strange technology. Here are the top 10 strangest Japanese technology: In 10th place comes the vibrating mouse. It is a mouse that vibrates and releases stress. In 9th place comes the sauce dispensing chopsticks. You will never need a sauce cup again with these because you just pour sauce in it and squeeze it to pour the sauce in the chopsticks. In 8th place is the cardboard speakers. Instead of the metal box full of wires, they replaced it with cardboard. I personally do not like this one, the head bath cap. This device does not only give your head a good bath but it also makes it grow faster and fuller. The next one was not so great either but it is the earwax cleaner. This does not only allow you to clean your ears, but it also allows you to see what is in your ear so you can see what earwax has built up. This next one is funny, the nap alarm! It is perfect for boring classes. When you are about to go asleep... buzzzz!!! A vibration will sure wake you up! In 4th place, the automatic door, has a built in censor that identifies a person or object. In 3rd place it is the air shower. This is a shower that blows out air and gets rid of allergens like pollen and dust. The next one is a little gross. The Toilet MP3! You connect the Mp3 holder on top of your toilet and the sound goes under the toilet seat so you can hear it. In first place...The Robotic Hand! It is controlled by human thought. It scans the humans brain and copies the motion. you can purchase these items at [|http://www.techeblog.com].

Robotics:
Most robots today are used for building machines and others are used for exploring places like underwater and other planets. The word robot comes from a word in the Czech language "robota" witch means drudgery/hard work. The study that has to do with robots is called robotics. That robotic hand may be cool but there are also whole bodies of robots. You can program robots to do lots of stuff like chores. Companies like Honda make robots. You can buy robots for personal use in Japan, but they are very expensive. Robots are in lots of places in Japan like hospitals. The robots in hospitals are used for greeting patients when they walk into the building.Here is a strange picture of a giant baby robot blowing fire.  This baby robot can sing, dance, and even blow fire!!!! It was made by a Japanese sculptor. The robots that Japan makes are human-like. They can shake hands and do other things as well. One name of a robot that Honda made is Asimo. This robot looks like a human and can also act like a human.Elektro was the first robot and it could speak more than 700 words, he is also the U.S.'s oldest robot. It was debuted in 1939. It weighs 265 pounds and can do actions like smoke cigarettes, blow balloons, and move his head, legs, arm, and he can smoke. Elektro had a tendency to call people "Toots," he also made bad jokes. Elektro once crashed by a blow out from a radio valve in his body, he was in a ospital during this action. In the 1960's, Elektro was given to a retired engineer but only his head was given to him, his body was sold for scrap. One of Elektros lines were, "I am Elektro," "My brain is bigger than yours." Elektro costed several hundred thousand dollars when it first came out and it was also in a movie, "The Beauty and the Robot." There are 4,000 robots in the military and there are probably more uses for robots. As you can see, robots are in a very high standard of technology.

Computers:
Computers are used all over the world. They are used in places like, companies/businesses, offices, and even your home. Computer chips are not only used in laptops and desktops, they are used in most electronic things like cellphones and robots. Most computers we uses are made by Japan's companies like Toshiba and Sony. There is Japanese technology in English systems like Windows Xp and Vista. They have Japanese translations built in. The top 10 computer companies in Japan are, Canon, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Matsushita, Mitsubishi, NEC, Oki, Ricoh, Seiko, and Toshiba. A computer is just an electronic machine. They are very interesting electronic machines.
