[CoSD]pyromaniac schrijft dat de eerste digitale nieuwslezeres af is, ze heet Ananova en heeft een leuk groen/blauw haar kleurtje. Ook kan ze werkweken van 168 uur maken, iets wat ik meestal niet haal:
The world's first virtual newsreader on the internet has been launched in London.
Computer-generated Ananova is programmed to deliver news 24 hours a day when her site goes live on Wednesday.
She speaks with an accent described as "mid-Atlantic" to avoid users being distracted by a regional accent.
Her first words at a press launch on Tuesday were: "Good morning, I'm Ananova. I've been locked in a room for 12 months with nothing but geeks and techies for company."
Created by a division of the UK Press Association news agency, her creators say she has a full range of human characteristics after researching the personality people most want to see reading the news.
