He lets me use his house to hold events to raise money for youth at risk programs. The last time I was there he greeted me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let you use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of a poor horse trainer who would go from stable (马厩) to stable, farm to farm, training horses. As a result, the boys high school was continually interrupted (打断). One day in the last year of high school, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to do when he grew up.“He wrote a seven-page paper about his goal of owning a horse ranch in great detail.

But he got a low mark with a note that read, See me after class.“The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, Why did I receive a low mark?“The teacher said, This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from a poor family. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. Theres no way you could ever do it. Then the teacher added, If you will rewrite this paper, I will reconsider your mark.“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do.

But then, as youre standing there, a nearly silent balloon floats (飘) over to you and speaks to you. It asks you where you want to go. You tell it, and then it simply says “follow me” like a childs game, and begins to float off in the direction of your destination. It keeps going, as you follow, leading you to where you want to go. The guide works itself, without any help from any human being. It says hello to people as they arrive in the building, speaks to them, processes their requests and then guides them to the destination. The balloon has two tiny fans to help keep it floating and to provide just a touch of lift. Onboard is a wireless (无线的) receiver for receiving directions from a computer that directs the fans and sensors (传感器) that let it know where objects are around it.The idea of such a simple robot is one that has been on the minds of scientists for years, and has been mentioned in novels many times. Today the iPhone does something similar but has to be connected to the Internet which is sometimes difficult. This is why this little balloon might be the wave of the future because it is so much easier to follow! 32.
