seriously, that's what i think! someday it won't matter how much of a misfit people are because they will be able to buy or rent as many robot friends as they need. for people who are very very poor the government will end up giving you your own robot, sort of like MediCaid or something. but quality will vary drastically.
it's sort of the equivalent of lonely people buying a dog but in this case you can actually have a real live (sort of) person to spend time with and converse with. does anybody else hope that this will come true someday?

Thu, July 8, 2004 - 2:10 PMWell, gee, no, I don't hope that will come true someday. I don't want a dog or a cat, either. What I want is to learn to be happy with myself, with or without the presence of others. -
