Interestingly, with Ghost in the Shell introduced something that is quite close what we have in development: Artificial Intelligent or AI. AI in GitS is somewhat placed in a neural-net where their minds can be expanded and have several application like maintaining the traffic or even help in maintenance. Tachikoma as shown above is a think-tank with a personality of curious children with the professionalism of a pro in covert operation. There’s one episode dedicated to them where they questioned their existence and since their memory are synchronized every night, they wonder how they are able to maintain their personality (it was because one of them had a oil spilled into their neural-net that has caused mutation in the AI development).

How I wish I have one of these in real life. It would be so easy to carry my luggage around.
