Pepper , a "robot with a heart", caused a sensation in Japan recently when it was launched on the market. one thousand models sold out in less than 60 seconds. Created by SoftBank Robotics Corp, Pepper can recognize feeling such as anger, joy and sadness.It then reacts accordingly, offering companionship for those who don't have it. The robot has been created to address Japan's rapidly ageing population and speaks English, French, Japanese and Spanish.

The Belgian city of Antewerp has crated special lanes for people who text and walk. Sponsored by a local phone business, the "text walking lanes" have been established as a temporary measure in the city's busy shopping streets. But officials say they could become permanent, if they lead to a reduction in accidents. The idea is not new. In 2014, Chinese authorities in the city of Chongquing introduced a 30-metre "mobile phone lane". And in June of this year, a university in Utah gave students who walk and text at he same time their own lane (photo) in a new student centre to reduce "hallway" gridlock.
