It seems that a guy in Texas (names David Hanson) has created a "robotic" boy. Currently, it cannot talk or walk, but it can make facial expressions. His name is Zeno, just like his 18-month old son. He envoisions robot-Zeno becoming an "interactive learning companion, a synthetic pal who can engage in conversation and convey human emotion through a face made of a skin-like, patented material Hanson calls frubber.

I don't know about you -but Zeno kind of freaks me out. I can imagine him "waking up" in the middle of the night and becoming the star of some B-rated horror movie. Take a look and let me know what you think?

Yes...Creepy! This is exactly why our society will crumble. Parents refuse to interact with their kids, and kids who are anti-social...so video games, TV, music, and Zeno apparently are supposed to teach our youth how to interact in the real world. Wow!

Wow! That is CReepY! It reminds me sort of the movie "A.I.". (Artificial Intelligence).

It's a sad & disturbing fact, but i believe that pretty soon, people are just going to rely on robots, & machines to do what humans used to do.
I think that we rely WAY too much on computers nowadays"]

I always wondered what would happen if some important place like a hospital, had its computers fail. What would happen to all of the important records??? I think that important information like that should be kept on hand in files also, or something
