This charming robot, a symbol of innocence and curiosity in a technology-driven universe, easily bridges the gap between technology and pop culture. His depiction of updating an iPhone in Masa Yamanaka’s photograph is both whimsical and telling, subtly hinting at our deep-rooted connection with technology in even the most human of stories.
