The message
Since I was young I have been reading the book
of Pinocchio.
Pinocchio is a fictional character and the protagonist of the childrens novel The Adventures
of Pinocchio (1883), by the Italian writer Carlo
Collodi. He was created as a wooden marionette
but dreamed of becoming a real boy.
During the story, Pinocchio is punished for his
lack of moral fiber, and his repeated desire to
have fun and reject responsibility.
The main imperatives demanded to Pinocchio
are: if he works, be good and studies, the fairy
will transform him into a real boy with modern
comforts for him and his father.

Nose and lies

The best-known Pinocchios characteristic is his
nose, if he tells a lie, it grows in length.
The nose only appears a couple times in the story,
but it reveals the Blue Fairys power over Pinocchio when he acts disobediently.

Pinocchio as a
humanoid robot
A myth that forms part of related robotic ideology we could call the Pinocchio Syndrome:
the idea that humanoid robots could evolve into
humans like the main character of the children
novel.
Humanoid robots are robots that look like human
or are inspired by human. There are many different types of humanoid robots for work at industries. Some types of robots are used for research
purposes as well and were originally developed
to build better prosthesis for human beings.
I will be meeting Massimo Banzi at next makers show. He is an Italian engineer who invented
the modern micro controller used by electronics
manufacturers all over the world.

The book Im writing

Ive always been a big reader and I love buying
new books.
I am writing a sci-fi novel, so i have started with
a great idea of a guy who goes on a journey and
experiences personal change.
I was standing on a chair and I was hanging a
clock, then a fell, and hit my head on kitchen
sink, and thats when I came up with the idea for
the story.
Many people try to write a book but only a few
ever succeed.

Movies vs Book
Some people think the movies are not good as
the book, and I agree because with the movie you
lose some details and thoughts of the characters,
but although I watch the movies to better appreciate the book, and viceversa.
Music has vinyl and writing has books, but movies dont offer a physical object that offers an
emotional connection.

End of the story

At the end of the story the Fairy with Turquoise
Hair rescues Pinocchio and transforms him into
a real boy, when he acquires a deeper understanding of himself, making the story more suitable for children.
