69da163886dd | 46607966C5C2 | In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," the author talks and describes to us this new technology that can detect how you feel and can tell you about your emotions just by looking at your facial traits. It identifies six basic emotions-hapiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. | Lead | Adequate |

f147fbf8c136 | 46607966C5C2 | For example,"She's 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent happy."

58ceab28f34d | 46607966C5C2 | This new technology can solve a lot of historic and present questions. It just uses your facial traits to recognize your emotions.

d3154c280f5f | 46A92C87B030 | I also think that having a break is warranted if you are working hard, it helps rejuvenate and recollect yourself.
