The emotionless, highly logical Vulcan, Mr. Spock, on the original Star Trek television series had quotes that sometimes came off as more human than the other characters.
“Computers make excellent and efficient servants, but I have no wish to serve under them.”
While hundreds of millions of people were captivated and enslaved by PCs, tablets and smartphones, Mr. Spock — portrayed by actor, director, poet and photographer, Leonard Nimoy — passed away on Friday, February 27th, 2015.

The entire “What Color Is It?” experiment was a sad social commentary which did nothing but prove that people on the Internet will argue about what’s right in front of them, and that many of them lack basic reasoning skills and, along with that, the ability to understand other people’s points of views. Contrary to all verbal diarrhea by so-called “intelligent” people, the experiment had little to do with higher or lower functioning eyesight or brain function. In fact, the biggest variance in differences depended solely on the contrast levels of the LCD and LED screens that people initially saw the image on.
