What is a person?

If you can artificially create meat to cover a steel covered autonomous skeleton, how is that different from a human being? We know of people that are killing people on on the regular & who are attacking people. If this steel machine with minimal human interaction programmes can do basic work such as delivering boxes & identify what is wrong or right, they are essentially more human than many humans we know of... it's funny. 

What is a watch?

We all have a problem of finding our cellular phones at some time hence there are sometimes phone finder apps on smartwatches but can a cellphone be merged with a smartwatch to be one device to eliminate this lost phone problem for good?

These Mbo tribes were the first so-called Bantu nation to arrive in present-day South Africa & therefore KwaZulu-Natal. They speak the Mbo language which is a Tekela language. The Portuguese who got shipwrecked by Port Natal (Durban) in the 1500s or 1600s reported that the land they were in leading up to Delagoa Bay (Maputo) was called eMbo being accompanied by Hlubi warriors on their journey. I have yet to decipher what Mbo means but I've come across articles i
