While different colors are worn from time to time, it is normal for businessmen and politicians to wear either a red or a blue necktie. But does the color matter? Psychologists have suggested that it does. In one study, it was shown that the colors red and blue improve mental performance and make people more open to suggestions. Furthermore, red was found to be more effective when it comes to improving our attention to detail. Blue, on the other hand, was found to increase people's creativity. So it is important for businessmen and politicians to know the secret power of these colors. Indeed, they need to choose their necktie carefully.

Are you thinking about where to live? How about a truly unique place? If you love skateboarding but do not have time to go to a skatepark, then the Skateboard House in Malibu, California is just right for you. There is a skateboard practice area inside the house itself. But that is not all. The whole house—including the living room, the kitchen, and even the furniture and the walls—is designed to be skated on. If you consider natural light to be the most important thing in a house, you might like living in the Transparent House in Japan. Its glass walls make it almost completely visible to the outside world. Of course, the Transparent House would not be a good place to live if you value your privacy.

Recently, researchers at Princeton University started to wonder why monkeys don't speak to each other like humans do. It should be possible for monkeys to talk, because they have everything that is required physically. The researchers looked at how macaque monkeys' lips, larynxes, and tongues move when they produce sounds. They used the data they gathered, along with actual recordings of macaque's sounds, to create a computer simulation of a macaque voice. It wasn't difficult for the researchers to change these sounds into English words and sentences. This means that, at least physically, macaque monkeys are able to speak like humans. So why don't they? The answer to that can be found in the human brain. We can think about the physical parts like the tongue and lips as the "hardware" of speech. The circuits in the brain can be the "software" that makes vocal communication possible. Monkeys simply have not developed the right speech "software" in their brains. That's why they don't talk like we do.

But others think we will adapt to this brave new world with robots serving people everywhere.
