Intention

Animism, a word that originated from Latin that means"breathe, spirit and life," is the belief that objects, places, and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence. After reading Articles about Animism, I started thinking about its relevance to smart devices. What if machines really have consciousness someday in the future? No one can give an answer to what is to come. But at least with today's technology, humans can actively give machines the ability to have emotions or characteristics when humans are interacting with the machine. 

Given the objects(a LED strip and a Doorbell), I began to think: What if a doorbell has preferences about colors? How will she react to the color she likes or doesn't like? So, I decided to set my doorbell to be a very picky device about the color of human clothes. For example, if she likes blue, she will only ring when you are wearing blue when pressing the doorbell. The sound will be similar to the sound of entering the door code to tell you that your dress"code" is correct. If you wear red or green to ring the doorbell, she will not make any sound. But our doorbell lady will also graciously display the color of your clothes on the LED strip just to show you that she sees you even if you are not wearing something she likes.
