Someday we'll resent our children for getting to grow up with robot friends.

-1 because I don't want robots going to school with our children.

I think this is a great example of us personifying something we don't understand, ie, to kids that know nothing of how anything works, they just assume it's a wierd looking person.
Can apply the same thing to religion.
But then again, kids that young tend to treat any moving thing as a person...dogs, cats, TV etc...until they are told or notice through observation that those things aren't treated as people by everyone else.

Syd Midnight - 2007-11-07 I wonder how that affects the uncanny valley. Is that something we learn, or do kids just wait till they grow up to complain how terrifying some puppets are?

I'd buy this if one of those toddlers pummeled the damn thing.

|
KnowFuture - 2007-11-07 I'm not saying I wish the little robot any harm, I'm just saying when toddlers start hitting you it's a pretty good sign they've accepted you as one of their own.
|
Syd Midnight - 2007-11-07 Ah, the difference between "a fragile and expensive toy" and "my robot buddy I can wrestle with and then pour water on to see what happens". No point buying kids the first kind.

I just assumed SolRo was a weird looking person... until now.

Wow, why don't we just lay down and die so they can take over the world?! DIDN'T ANYBODY SEE TERMINATOR DAMMIT?!?
Sorry. Robots make me crazy.

Now show them cheesy movies, the worse they can find.

OUR PLANS ARE COMING TO PASS

I don't think they're really considering it as one of them.
|
Calamity Jon - 2008-01-11 Same here. They're pretty clearly treating it as an anthropomorphic toy. I've never seen kids patting each other on the head as part of rote social interaction.

One word: Forced Robo-Human Integration

Next step is to mount a .45 on that robot.
