The HUGO 3.0 is an interactive talking whiteboard created by the Pseudo Meta corporation. He claims to be "100% accurate".
Biography
Pseudo Meta loaned him to Lakewood Elementary School for two weeks in "Get Smart" to test his performance in a real classroom. He passed with flying colors, easily answering many random questions the kids asked him. His fatal flaw is believing himself to be perfect, so he cannot comprehend how to react to making any mistakes. Once he has selected an answer, he sticks with it, and cannot be convinced to change it.
He helped Mr. Ratburn teach the class until they found they had conflicting opinions as to who was the owner of Elwood City's first saw mill. Mr. Ratburn said it was Jacob Katzenellenbogan, and HUGO said it was Francis Wheaton. Brain's research proved Mr. Ratburn to be correct, and he even brought Jacob's closest living relative, Alfred Katzenellenbogan, to show HUGO the original deed to the mill.
In Brain's dream, HUGO was originally a supercomputer during his development at Pseudo Meta.
Trivia
- HUGO has many similarities to the HAL 9000 from Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
- In Brain's dream, HUGO states "That would be a lie, Dave," to one of the scientists. This refers to the line "I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave."
- Both computers sing the 'Daisy Bell' song when they break down.
- Both speak in a calm, monotone voice.
- There is a product that is similar to this which is a Smart Board. The Smart Board is emerging in schools around the U.S.
