Getting real? Synthetic emotions could make computers nicer
	 When today’s users respond emotionally to a computer, they typically call it unprintable names, perhaps hold down all the keys and make contemplate throwing it out a window. But such unpleasantness could be a thing of the past if projects at Stanford University and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Laboratory bear fruit. Researchers are studying how to make people feel happy about relationship between man and machine – and how to make computers more soothing when they detect frustration. The approach has started to attrct serious attention from computer and software designers – as well as criticism that it is misconceived and ethically questionable.
