they are now a world-wide phenomenon. Whoever invented the AIBO must (2)...have ... spent
hours studying dog behavior because the robot's behavior is uncannily realistic. They are

AIBC won't always chase after a pink object - sometimes it will wander off in the opposite direct

means their behavior changes as they get older. AIBO owners name their robots and they boast
about what they can do and how they have changed since they were "little". However, robot

WHAT CHILDREN REMEMBER
Whether it's holidays, great days out or lazy days at home, you hope your children will retain
haooy memories of their childhoods. But often their treasured recollections don't match parental
eroecatxxts.

T awe my exasperated friend Sarah. Back on the train after a day at both the Natural History
and t-e Science museums with three children under 10, she asked: "So what did you all learn?"
'"TO. f 1 oanc my head on something hard, it's going to hurt," came the reply from her six-year-
oic da‘_gnte<. Roaring dinosaurs and an expensive lunch had little impact, but the bump on a
t»- -ter was destined to become family legend. After I'd helped out on a school trip to Tate
Mooe— ari gatiery, the teacher told me that three of my five-year-old charges drew the
escalators as me- mos: memorable bit of the day. ’On a zoo trip, Luca liked the caterpillar best,"
says my fr.end Baroara Rxget lions, giraffes and gorillas. What made the most impression (and
what he STH ra-<u about. five years later) is the time he found a caterpillar at the zoo."

’xood features 3-ge in other children's memories. ’Did you like going on the plane?" a friend
as^eo her -.-ree year-oio daughter after her first flight ’I liked the crisps," came the reply. Four
years on, anutner fnend's daughter still remembers Menorca for the tomato-flavored crisps and
Pembrokeshire for the dragon ice cream (ice cream in a dragon-shaped pot). Last summer, Janet
and her husband took their three children on a three-week train trip around Europe. ’We wanted
to open their minds to the joys of travel and experience different cultures," she says. ’But the
high point for them was the Mickey Mouse-shaped ice cream. That was in Rome. I wonder
whether the Coliseum made any sort of impression."
But parenting expert Suzie Hayman Is reassuring. "I think food figures high In everybody's
memories," she says. "I just have to think of hot chocolate and I'm transported back to Paris.
Adults tend to be less direct or simply try hard to come up to other people's expectations. The
important thing is that you give your children lots of stimulation. If you visit a museum, you
can convey your appreciation for something. Just don't expect them to share it. It's all about
laying
out the buffet and letting children pick. What children want most Is you - your attention, your
approval, your time. They may prefer the box to the present, but you're still giving them variety
for their memory pool. It's also Important that they don't grow up expecting that happy times
only equate with spending money on expensive days out.’

My nine-year-old has a memory theory: the more uncomfortable the bed, the better the holiday.
So sleeping on bathroom floors and bending Z-beds make for a fantastic time and fluffy pillows
and soft mattresses (more expensive) equal boring. This Is one unexpected memory I plan to
nurture for years to come.

INTERNET JOBS
Contrary to popular belief, one does not have to be a trained programmer to work online. Of
course, there are plenty of jobs available for people with high-tech computer skills, but the
growth of new media has opened up a wide range of Internet career opportunities requiring only
a minimal level of technical expertise. Probably one of the most well-known online job
opportunities Is the job of webmaster. However, it Is hard to define one basic job description
for this position. The qualifications and responsibilities depend on what tasks a particular
organization needs a webmaster to perform.
To specify the job description of a webmaster, one needs to identify the hardware and software
the website the webmaster will manage is running on. Different types of hardware and software
require different skill sets to manage them. Another key factor is whether the website will be
running internally or externally (renting shared space on the company servers). Finally, the
responsibilities of a webmaster also depend on whether he or she will be working
independently, or whether the firm will provide people to help. All of these factors need to be
considered before one can create an accurate webmaster job description.
Webmaster is one type of Internet career requiring In-depth knowledge of the latest computer
applications. However, there are also online jobs available for which traditional skills remain in
high demand. Content jobs require excellent writing skills and a good sense of the web as a
"new media'.
The term "new media" is difficult to define because It encompasses a constantly growing set of
new technologies and skills. Specifically, it Includes websites, email, internet technology, CD-
ROM, DVD, streaming audio and video, interactive multimedia presentations, e-books, digital
music, computer illustration, video games, virtual reality, and computer artistry.
Additionally, many of today's Internet careers are becoming paid-by-the-job professions. With
many companies having to downsize in tough economic items, the outsourcing and contracting
of freelance workers online has become common business practice. The Internet provides an
infinite pool of buyers from around the world with whom freelancers can contract their services.
An added benefit to such online jobs is that freelancers are able to work on projects with
companies outside their own country.
How much can a person make In these kinds of careers? As with many questions related to
today's evolving technology, there is no simple answer. There are many companies willing to
pay people with internet skills salaries well over $70,000 a year. Generally, webmasters start at
about $30,000 per year, but salaries can vary greatly. Freelance writers working online have
been known to maxt between $40,000 to $70,000 a year.
